1.0 out of 5 stars Fare Book - Nasty Price, November 26, 2003

Apaxmec "apaxmec" - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Argumentation and Debate: Critical Thinking for Reasoned Decision Making (Wadsworth Series in Speech Communication) (Hardcover)

The book is very basic (almost superficial) but covers most of the important ground well enough. However, it has two major draw-backs:
1)Anyone familiar with Debate or Critical Thinking, will find that it offers very little that is new.
2)The Price - There is no way to justify the high price of the book. It has very low value for money.
In short - If you are an absolute novice, look for it in a library, otherwise you could better use your time and money.

MS girl - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Argumentation and Debate: Critical Thinking for Reasoned Decision Making (Paperback)

We are reading it aloud to our four daughters who are homeschooled. It is very helpful, but it is a textbook not a fun fiction book.
