Past to Present
by Stuart Hirschberg
Putting a human face on the great ideas that have changed our world. Past to Present: Ideas That Changed Our World offers a balance between past and present selections so that readers can trace the evolution of ideas through history and in many cultures. Each of the 73 readings includes discussions that focus on the history of the idea, the writer's rhetorical strategies, and the context in which the piece was written. This innovative first edition anthology addresses issues of race, social class, and technology. It also redefines the traditional themes found in great ideas readers and offers a more focused, precise, and, most importantly, an up-to-date collection of readings.
To The Point
by Harvey S. Wiener
To the Point helps readers construct arguments by thinking about their own experiences, reading brief, current essays, and doing writing assignments. <P> 65 brief, thoughtful readings on fresh but significant topics provide invaluable models for writing arguments as well as dynamic issues for class discussion. Readings cover areas from cell phones to environmentalism, from human rights to love and marriage, from immigration to terrorism, along with five classic arguments from Plato, Jonathan Swift, Virginia Woolf, Rachel Carson, and Martin Luther King, Jr. A series of paired Pro/Con readings (Part 2) look at contemporary issues show that there is not always one right answer to a problem or question. These Pro/Con readings cover the following issues: is rap culture too negative?; equal rights between the sexes in college sports; should animal rights compromise human needs?; limiting immigration; the role affirmative action should play in our lives; and capital punishment. Readings cover areas from cell phones to environmentalism, from human rights to love and marriage, from immigration to terrorism, along with five classic arguments from Plato, Jonathan Swift, Virginia Woolf, Rachel Carson, and Martin Luther King, Jr. <P> Anyone interested in learning how to develop good arguments.
Well-crafted Argument
by Fred D. White
The goal of this two-part argument rhetoric/reader is to equip students with a complete set of skills (writing, arguing, reasoning, critical reading and thinking, researching) necessary for writing argumentative essays in a wide variety of contexts and disciplines. The Well-Crafted Argument uses a practical, accessible, skills-based approach to teaching argument while encouraging students to develop their individual voices and visions. Part One, "The Rhetoric of Argument," covers using the writing process when writing arguments, framing arguments using three main models (Classic, Toulmin, and Rogerian), reasoning and avoiding fallacies, critical reading and thinking, research, and documentation of sources. Integrated throughout this part are 16 sample arguments, including Thomas Jefferson's "Declaration of Independence" and Martin Luther King, Jr.,'s "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." Other student and professional contributors include Baltimore Mayor Kurt Schmoke, Virginia Woolf, W. E. B. DuBois, and Galileo. In addition, drafts of student essays illustrate the composing process. Part Two, "Reading Clusters," is an anthology of 95 readings grouped into nine clusters. The first eight clusters cover controversial topics of current interest, such as downloading music files, national security, cyberspace and education, standardized testing, censorship, and media violence. Each cluster includes a wide range of contrasting (not just opposing) views. The last cluster features famous arguments, including Plato's "Allegory of the Cave," Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress," Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal," Frederick Douglass's "I Hear the Mournful Wail of Millions," and Roe v. Wade. At least one student essay is included within each of the nine reading clusters. The chapter on researching arguments provides the latest information on search engines, databases, and Internet resources. The chapter on documentation covers MLA and APA styles and includes a sample student paper for each style. Expanded commentary on the different models of argument features more thorough treatment of the Toulmin model and a clearer distinction between the Classical and Toulmin models. Each cluster includes a visual-argument selection and commentary on visual rhetoric in the context of argumentation.
