<p>The first and most thoroughly developed audience-oriented argumentation text, Argumentation and Critical Decision Making presents argumentation as a cooperative, communicative process. The text examines the general principles of argument in a rigorous yet readable manner and then applies those principles to different spheres of life--law, science, religion, business, and politics--to explore how conventions of argument change when applied to these real-world arenas. Focusing on the dynamics of decision-making and using real-life examples to illustrate principles, this book aims to help readers develop practical argumentation skills within the world of their daily lives.</p>

Be prepared for the demands of the speaking situations that come up in life! In this clear, concise volume, the authors present the theme of public speaking as a transaction between the speaker and the audience. Effective speaking is presented as an integrated process, not a series of isolated elements. The audience serves as the unifying theme. This book teaches novice speakers to think of public speaking as an opportunity and a responsibility to share information and to connect with the audience. Thoroughly grounded in rhetorical theory, the volume relates the concepts taught by Aristotle to today's critical thinking skills. Emphasis is placed on analysis and argument being the key tools not only for public speaking but also for success in other areas as well. Includes a large number of real examples, sample outlines, and samples of actual speeches that support discussions of rhetorical principles, types of discourse, and practical elements of speech preparation.
