A Logical Choice--The Structure of Argument,
By Carol C. Hoxsie (Americus, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Structure of Argument 2nd edition (Paperback)
As an English teacher, I have searched for the definitive argumentation text for my Advanced Placement English classes. I have found it! The Structure of Argument is a book that works not only for students but also for anyone who is interested in understanding critical and anlytical thinking. The arrangement of the book makes a sometimes difficult topic easy to grasp. The author explains the terminology and follows with specific and interesting examples. Even my junior students are interested in the reading selections. There are no groans and yawns. They are wide-eyed and ready to discuss and write. This text has brought argument to the forefront and helped me help my students understand the nature of Real Thinking. For advanced students, the example research styles, both MLA and APA, are helpful and provide the step-by-step process. For my personal reading, I found this slection to be as important and interesting as a classic novel. Strange to say, but it is a "page turner." I am totally sold on this book. For anyone interested in understanding clear thinking, this book provides the way through the fog of fallacies.

I ordered this book thinking it was a companion to "Elements of Argument: A Text and Reader ". This book is part of the latter. Why it's not mentioned in either of the books' reviews is beyond me.

None of my schools bookstores had it so I went to amazon and it was cheaper than any other company including my school bookstore when it was in stock. Thank you for the quick shipping got here in time for my first test. Thank you!
