This edition is substantially updated for an era of renewed tensions over race, gender, and economic inequality-all compounded by the escalating decibel level and polarization of public rhetoric.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReadings include civil rights advocate Michelle Alexander on \"the new Jim Crow,\" recent reconsiderations of socialism versus capitalism, Naomi Wolf's and Christine Hoff Sommers' opposing views on \"the beauty myth,\" a section on the rhetoric of war, and debates on identity politics, abortion, and student debt.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDesigned for first-year or more advanced composition and critical thinking courses, the book trains students in a wealth of techniques to locate fallacies and other weaknesses in argumentation in their prose and the writings of others. Exercises also help students understand the ideological positions and rhetorical patterns that underlie opposing views, from Ann Coulter to Bernie Sanders. Widely debated issues of whether objectivity is possible and whether there is a liberal or conservative bias in news and entertainment media, as well as in education itself, are foregrounded as topics for rhetorical analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDonald Lazere\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor Emeritus of English at Cal Poly State U, San Luis Obispo.
