Publisher's Synopsis
By stressing the rhetorical situation and audience, this argument rhetoric/reader avoids complicated schemes and terminology in favor of providing students with the practical ways of finding "good reasons" to argue for the positions they take. Good Reasons with Contemporary Arguments and Handbook helps students read, analyze, and write various types of arguments, including visual, verbal, and written. Supporting the authors' instruction are readings by professional and student writers, including many of an academic nature that cite sources, and over 150 visuals. Good Reasons with Contemporary Arguments and Handbook is distinctive for its discussion of why people write arguments, its coverage of rhetorical analysis and visual analysis in a brief format, its close attention to reading arguments, its thorough attention to research, and its emphasis on provocative topics in the reader section of the book. This new version also contains a concise handbook on grammar and mechanics, including "Common Errors" boxes that offer guidance on how to recognize, understand, and correct the most frequent errors.
