The Language of Argument

I think this book is very informative. It has a lot of interesting short essays in it. It will help me in my Composition III class. This was at a very good price. The school bookstores tend to be quite pricey.

Wonderful, Technical, A Text Book With Class

I dip in and out of this book. It is a combination of both examples and text book type exposition on the various kinds of arguments written or oral that one may be called upon to create. I love the friendly, systematic, varied, ecclectic quality of the book. It is, however, not a quick read since it is well designed for classroom use. I use it is a reference and an inspiration to think effectively about presenting effective "arguments."
