James Scheuermann's Reading Argumentative Texts is an unusually clear, engaging, and well-organized textbook that should be of considerable value to teachers and students in undergraduate courses in critical thinking, rhetoric, informal logic, and philosophy. The book does a very fine job of introducing students to essential skills involved in interpreting and evaluating arguments, and uses well-chosen sample arguments drawn from a wide range of popular media, nontechnical writing in various fields of scholarly inquiry, and other accessible materials. Of particular note are the excellent discussions regarding uncovering the meaning(s) of texts and the structure(s) of arguments, understanding different kinds of arguments and the various aims of reading and writing, as well as creating outlines and summaries of arguments. Instructors teaching courses on more narrowly focused topics or within particular disciplines can readily combine the valuable material in Reading Argumentative Texts with arguments, inquiries, and texts specific to their courses., When I first began teaching college writing twenty-four years ago, my students needed instruction on how to find sources. Over the past decade or so as the proliferation of both print and online arguments have exceeded anyone's epxectations, that need has swelled to include instruction in how to read sources. In Reading Argumentative Texts: Analytic Tools to Improve Understanding, James E. Scheuermann takes this process one step further by helping students learn how to analyze and truly understand the arguments they encounter in everyday life and in their research. Scheuermann's approach urges students to avoid seeing reading as "a spectator sport." Instead, he encourages them to see reading as a dialogue that requires active engagement. His text leads students through the steps necessary to do that kind of engaged work through in-depth explorations of fallacies and other tools used by writers to both illuminate and obfuscate meaning in arguments. I highly recommend this textbook to anyone seeking a methodical path for understanding and interpreting non-fiction texts. In its pages readers will find all of the tools necessary to tackle even the trickiest arguments., When I first began teaching college writing twenty-four years ago, my students neededinstruction on how to find sources.
