Everyday Arguments: A Guide to Writing and Reading Effective Arguments

by Katherine J. Mayberry

"Everyday Arguments" combines brief argument rhetoric with an anthology of illustrative readings drawn from arguments of everyday life. The anthology of readings is closely tied to the principles and practices introduced in the rhetoric section. The overarching philosophy of the reading selections (and of the book as a whole) is that written argument - in all its variety - is the most common form of writing and that much can be learned about its practice from the texts we encounter on a daily basis. Ideal for individuals interested in learning to develop argumentative and persuasive writing skills.

For a text book, this book was not bad. It kept my interest more than other text books have.
