This college text teaches students strategies for reading, thinking, and writing that they can use in all types of argument, both inside and outside the classroom. The author notes that modern arguments often encompass a variety of perspectives, rather than a right or wrong position, and do not always result in a declaration of winners. She includes 123 readings, 15 of which are argument papers written by students. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
