Argument Today prepares you to communicate persuasively and collaboratively in academic, career and other real-life settings. Less skilled communicators attack and defend, but you'll learn how to listen carefully, critically analyze all sides of an issue, weigh the available evidence, figure out what you believe, and express your ideas clearly. This approach is essential as virtual workplaces, social networking, and multimodality place us in continual conversations with others. In the right circumstances, argumentation will become a “habit of mind” that you can transfer to your other college courses, your career and civic life.

The 2nd Edition offers numerous enhancements and revisions to prepare you for success in today's world.
