I spent too much time with this book this morning. "How Arguments Work takes students through the techniques they will need to respond to readings and make sophisticated arguments in any college class. This is a practical guide to argumentation with strategies and templates for the kinds of assignments students will commonly encounter. It covers rhetorical concepts in everyday language and explores how arguments can build trust and move readers." It's a very practical guide for students, well-written and accessible, with lots of examples and patterns. Though I have quibbles here and there, it's quite good, and would make a huge difference to students, especially those in the social sciences and humanities. It's all open access, downloadable, and accessible with an audio version. Via Shagun Kaur.
