Logic and Contemporary Rhetoric: The Use of Reason in Everyday LifeWadsworth Publishing Company, 1988 - 346 pàgines This textbook introduces students to logic and contemporary rhetoric, particularly as applied to problems encountered in everyday life as well as social and political issues. Using examples drawn from sources such as television, newspapers, advertisements, and political speeches, Kahane (U. of Maryland) and Cavender (College of Marin) encourage students to think critically about issues such as abortion, diets, drugs, and astrology.
