| Logic and Contemporary Rhetoric: The Use of Reason in Everyday Life by Wadsworth Publishing another professor | | This is an excellent book, with no axe to grind--other than promoting clear thinking. It covers a lot of ground, is accessible, yet not superficial. I have used it in class for years in its various editions, and the examples, discussion, and even cartoons are always of the best quality. Students love this book, and for good reason. | | Logic and Contemporary Rhetoric: The Use of Reason in Everyday Life by Wadsworth Publishing A Professor's Opinion | I've assigned this book, in several editions, for more than twenty-five years. Which means, of course, that I've not found a better text for an introductory course in Critical Thinking. It is lucid, entertaining, and relevant to current events -- thanks to its frequent revisions. (It is now in its tenth edition).
Thankfully, Nancy Cavender has kept the text in print with new editions, following the death of Howard Kahane in 2001. | | Logic and Contemporary Rhetoric: The Use of Reason in Everyday Life by Wadsworth Publishing Excellent and fun read | | I needed this book for my Critical Thinking class. I wasn't very fond of my professor but this book has made all the difference. It is extremely easy read, it's fun, entertaining, very informative, and very contemporary. It deals with the major issues of the modern era. I would recommend it to anybody because it helps extend readers thinking and perception of the world. I simply loved it. Keep in mind that the first few chapters are a little bit technical so it may seem boring at first. But don't let this scare you. | | Logic and Contemporary Rhetoric: The Use of Reason in Everyday Life by Wadsworth Publishing not that great | | I used this book in a Philosophy class, it was horrible. The book is boring, and difficult to get through, I found it confusing and not helpful when I had questions. | | Logic and Contemporary Rhetoric: The Use of Reason in Everyday Life by Wadsworth Publishing Product Description | | This classic text, first published in 1971, has introduced tens of thousands of students to sound reasoning using a wealth of current, relevant, and stimulating examples all put together and explained in Howard Kahane's uniquely witty and invigorating writing style. Long the choice of instructors who want to "keep students interested", LOGIC AND CONTEMPORARY RHETORIC combines examples from TV, newspapers, magazines, advertisements, and, in typical Kahanian fashion, our nation¹s political dialogue. The text not only brings the concepts alive for students, but puts critical thinking skills into a context that students will retain and use throughout their lives. This is a book you can actually count on students to read. |
