The only argument text that emphasizes style throughout.

Presenting a holistic view of content and style, this all-in-one argument rhetoric, reader, research guide and handbook helps students analyze and evaluate what they read, argue persuasively, and communicate more clearly than they ever have before. Students discover, internalize and apply at increasing levels of sophistication the impact of persuasive appeals (logos, pathos and ethos), the principles of critical thinking and the hallmarks of effective style through more than 200 embedded, guided activities directed at their own papers.
