Practical Argument: Short Edition

About this book

More than ever successful argumentation is a major part of academic successand has plenty of real-world application in our sometimes contentious sociopolitical landscape. But some argument books get bogged down in technical jargon and abstractionand thats where Practical Argument comes in. Bestselling authors Laurie Kirszner and Stephen Mandell make argumentative writing accessible with an exercise-driven step-by-step approach to convey what students need to understand about argument in understandable language. The short fourth edition includes a more contemporary and diverse array of readings than ever as well as expanded coverage of visual arguments.
