Practical Argument: A Text and Anthology

About this book

More than ever successful argumentation is a major part of academic successand has plenty of real-world application. But students dont benefit when they are bogged down with technical jargon and abstraction. Thats where Practical Argument comes in. Bestselling authors Laurie Kirszner and Stephen Mandell make argumentative writing accessible with a scaffolded step-by-step approach to convey what students need to know about argument in understandable language. The Fourth Edition includes an even more contemporary and diverse array of readings as well as new coverage of the kinds of visual arguments students are likely to encounter in their everyday lives.
