Thinking Through Writing – A Guide for Becoming a Better Writer and Thinker

This highly practical book combines developing skills in reading, writing and critical thinking at a time when these are in steep decline among students. It formalises the Harvard expository writing course in a series of chapters covering arguments, structure, evidence, outlining, technique, closure and using citations. It makes an interesting distinction between argument by character, emotion and logic as applied to rhetoric, critical thinking, and composition. Needless to say, such a book is especially valuable for students.
