Perspectives on Argument, Sixth Edition

Now in full color with over 150 illustrations and corresponding discussion questions, Perspectives on Argument provides the visual appeal that students expect and gives timely consideration to visual argument in our media-oriented culture.  At its core, this text continues to present Nancy Wood’s intuitive explication of Toulmin, Classical and Rogerian approaches, and rhetorical and visual analysis.  Her classroom-tested assignment sequence allows students to progress from easy to more difficult writing tasks and to integrate reading, thinking, and writing skills at every stage.  The many readings and visuals help students consider the range of opinion before refining or formulating their own.
