Official synopsis Publisher
Everything’s an Argument’s unique, student-centered approach to teaching argument has made it the best-selling brief argument text on the market. The book’s engaging, informal style shows students first how to read and analyze a wide range of argumentative texts — verbal and visual, scholarly and “real world” — and then how to use what they learn to write their own arguments. Andrea Lunsford and John Ruszkiewicz’s instruction is fresh, elegant, and jargon-free, emphasizing inclusivity (moving beyond simple pro/con positions), humor, and visual argument to make Everything’s an Argument immediately accessible. Students like this book because it helps them see and understand that a world of argument already surrounds them; instructors like it because it helps students construct their own arguments about that world.
