Advance Praise for Writing Arguments, 6/e
“The main strength I see in this material is the depth of discussion of points such as topics of arguments and ways to evaluate materials. These strengths put the text ahead of others on the market.”
- Linda Moore, University of West Florida
“The sixth edition has more interesting reading selections, examples, and topics than the fifth edition. Writing Arguments is an in-depth text that enables me to teach argument in a variety of ways with different emphases.”
- Rebecca M. Whitten, Mississippi State University
“Certainly, [the authors] have worked hard, and I think, effectively, to make the topics and issues up-to-date and interesting and current—that’s very useful and I think students and teachers alike will gain from the new ideas.”
- Gregory R. Glam, Arizona State University
