This brief edition of a ground-breaking textbook addresses the need
for college students to develop critical reading, writing, and
thinking skills for self-defense in the contentious arena of
American civic rhetoric. Designed for first-year or more advanced
composition and critical thinking courses, it is one-third shorter
than the original edition, more affordable for students, and easier
for teachers to cover in a semester or quarter. It incorporates
up-to-date new readings and analysis of controversies like the
growing inequality of wealth in America and the debates in the 2008
presidential campaign, expressed in opposing viewpoints from the
political left and right. Exercises help students understand the
ideological positions and rhetorical patterns that underlie such
opposing views. Widely debated issues of whether objectivity is
possible and whether there is a liberal or conservative bias in
news and entertainment media, as well as in education itself, are
foregrounded as topics for rhetorical analysis."Online Materials
