From the Publisher:

A two-part organization: The first part covers claims, the second covers arguments. Students find the distinction between unsupported and supported claims natural.
Hundreds of examples and anecdotes drawn primarily from politics, sports, high technology, entertainment, and academia.
A focus on writing throughout. Chapter 2 focuses exclusively on guidelines for writing argumentative essays.
A complete glossary of terms, answers to one-third of the 1,500 exercises included in the text, cartoons, and an informal, often tongue-in-cheek writing style.
