From Francie Quaas-Berryman, " [The authors] break down the reading and writing process into manageable chunks that would be very easy for students to work through. The guidelines for writing and the reading questions would be an excellent way to develop class discussions on the literary selections and help the students begin to process their ideas for writing assignments. I haven’t taught this course in a while because I have been frustrated by the lack of materials. If this text was available, I would add the course back to my schedule request again." From MattTurnerCy-FairCollege "[Strategies for Reading and Arguing about Literature]provides one of the most in-depth and comprehensive discussions of argument and its connection to literature that I’ve found…The argumentation here is the strongest I’ve found so far in literary anthologies…This book provides a substantial (and substantive) integration of argument. " Strategies for Reading and Arguing about Literature teaches the art of academic argumentation through a focus on classic and contemporary literature. This four-genre text focuses on argumentation and the writing process in depth by taking a twofold approach.

The book’s philosophy is demonstrated in its five distinct Part 1 is an introduction to argument and arguing about literature with a focus on the Toulmin philosophy.Part 2 focuses on reading strategies and includes a repertoire of critical reading tools to understand literary texts.Part 3 incorporates traditional literary theory as a tool for exploring and generating arguments about literature.

English | ISBN: 0190619422 | 2016 | 296 pages | EPUB | 858 KB
For much of its modern history, a combination of deep nervousness and profound lack of interest seemed to inhibit or even prevent regular political conversations in the Arab World.

Free Download Arguing About Tastes: Modeling How Context and Experience Change Economic Preferences (Kenneth J. Arrow Lecture Series) by David Kreps
English | November 28th, 2023 | ISBN: 0231209916, 0231209908 | 216 pages | True EPUB | 1.00 MB
Mainstream economics considers individual preferences to be fixed and unchanging. Although psychologists and other social scientists explore how tastes are formed, influenced, and evolve, it is not considered "proper" in orthodox economics to do so. Arguing About Tastes makes the case that economists should abandon the principle that preferences are fixed and instead incorporate into their work how context and experience shape individual tastes.
