TextLanguage: English Publication details: New York : Longman , 2010Edition: Eighth edDescription: xxxix , 674 pp. : ill. (col.) ; 23 cmISBN: 9780205648368Subject(s): RhetoricDDC classification: 808.0427 R165w 2010 Summary: "Through its first seven editions, Writing Arguments has established itself as the leading college textbook in argumentation. By focusing on argument as dialogue in search of solutions to problems instead of as pro-con debate with winners and losers, Writing Arguments treats argument as a process of inquiry as well as a means of persuasion. Users and reviewers have consistently praised the book for teaching the critical thinking skills needed for writing arguments: how to analyze the occasion for an argument; how to ground an argument in the values and beliefs of the targeted audience; how to develop and elaborate an argument; and how to respond sensitively to objections and alternative views."
