DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A Brief Guide to Writing Academic Arguments prepares students to read and write the types of argument-related source-based writing they are most likely to encounter in college. A Brief Guide offers an introduction to argumentation, critical reading, and argument-related source-based writing. The instruction is firmly based in both writing process and rhetorical theory, offering step-by-step advice on producing effective, persuasive, conventionally sound arguments for academic audiences and purposes. A Brief Guide offers a complete argument course with an introductory chapter on Classical Argument, a highly-praised simplified approach to Toulmin, and four chapters on claim types rounded out with chapters on rhetorical analysis and visual argument. Professional and student essays drawn from disciplines across the curriculum help students understand the nature of academic arguments; how to analyze and evaluate arguments; how academic writers form, support, and explain claims; and how they use source material as evidence.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →For courses in Argument and Research. The most thorough theoretical foundation available Writing Arguments: A Rhetoric with Readings, Brief Edition, 10/e integrates four different approaches to argument: the enthymeme as a logical structure, the classical concepts of logos, pathos, and ethos, the Toulmin system, and stasis theory. Focusing on argument as dialogue in search of solutions instead of a pro-con debate with winners and losers, it is consistently praised for teaching the critical-thinking skills needed for writing arguments. Major assignment chapters each focus on one or two classical stases (e.g. definition, resemblance, causal, evaluation, and policy). Each concept is immediately reinforced with discussion prompts, and each chapter ends with multiple comprehensive writing assignments. This brief version includes readings within the chapters but excludes the anthology included in the comprehensive version. Also available in a Comprehensive version (032190673X) and a Concise version which is a redaction of the Brief edition ( 0321964284).
