Comments on the previous edition:
“This is the ultimate ‘how-to’ book for anyone who wants to use reasons and evidence in support of conclusions, to be clear instead of confusing, persuasive instead of dogmatic, and better at evaluating the arguments of others.”
–Debra Nails, Michigan State University
