About the Author:
MICHAEL A. GILBERT, Ph.D., is Professor of Philosophy at York University in Ontario. He frequently lectures and gives seminars on the art of arguing, and is the author of several novels.
Review:
This is a HOW to book that makes sense. No doubt because it is based on a thorough understanding of the peculiarities and possibilities of argumentation. (Frans H. van Eemeren, Professor of Speech Communication, Argumentation Theory, and Rhetoric?University of Amsterdam)
If argumentation is important, then this book will be of inestimable value. (St. Catherine's Standard)
