Phillips/Bostian's "The Purposeful Argument: A Practical Guide," 4th Edition, brings argument into everyday life. Practical skills, local relevance, community-based writing activities and clear, step-by-step instruction help students use argument in a variety of environments (school, workplace, family, neighborhood, concerned citizen and more). The book covers four key models -- Toulmin, Rogerian, Middle Ground and Microhistory -- and includes an anthology of readings on themes like education, work, social justice, family, consumer culture, civic issues, identity and historical American arguments.
