Critical Thinking, Reading, and Writing: A Brief Guide to Argument

- A compact but comprehensive guide to critical thinking and argumentation. Comprising the text portion of the widely adopted Current Issues and Enduring Questions, this affordable guide provides a thorough introduction to critical thinking and argumentation and can stand alone or supplement a larger anthology of readings for a composition or literature course.
- 54 provocative readings (25 new). The readings provide arguments designed for student response, and are accompanied by headnotes and questions that prompt students to think and write critically about pressing current issues and one classic philosophical question. Five in-depth case-books provide a variety of perspectives on the issues.
- New to the fourth edition is coverage of visual rhetoric with images, a new chapter on moral reasoning, updated and expanded research features, and more student writing.
