Writing Arguments a Rhetoric with Readings 11th Edition

Writing Arguments takes a problem-solving approach to the art of argument. Authors Ramage, Bean and Johnson present you with argument as a process of inquiry and a means of persuasion, not as a pro/con debate with winners and losers. This approach, which has cemented the text’s reputation as a leader in argumentation through 10 editions, promotes the essential critical-thinking skills you’ll need to compose effective arguments.

The 11th Edition has been carefully refined to increase your understanding of the value of argument and help you negotiate the rhetorical divisiveness in today’s world. All the signature strengths of this logical, flexible text remain intact: major chapter assignments focus on 1-2 stases; discussion prompts and end-of-chapter writing assignments reinforce concepts; and coverage of research and documentation is comprehensive.
