Arguments and Arguing: The Products and Process of Human Decision Making, Second Edition
Thomas A. Hollihan , and Kevin T. Baaske Manufacturer: Waveland Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1577663624 |
Book Description
The primary focus of the updated, second edition has not changedit embraces the narrative or storytelling approach to the study of argumentation. The first section introduces readers to rhetorical theorists and their principles. These significant contributions to the field of argumentation and debate include Aristotle's views on audiences and the ethical character of an advocate, Burke's dramatistic theory of communication, Brockriede's metaphorical image of arguers, Fisher's narrative paradigm, Mill's guidelines for testing the causal correlation, Perelman and Obrechts-Tyteca's conception of a universal audience, Rokeach's definition of values, and Toulmin's model for developing and analyzing argument claims and his conception of arguments as field dependent. Hollihan and Baaske's discussions of these ideas and their applications are easy to follow, unencumbered by technical jargon, and illustrated with engaging examples drawn from current and well-known historical events. The key to the success of this text is the authors' superb ability to show readers how foundational principles of argumentation are used in a variety of real-world situations. The second section covers specialized contexts such as academic debates, courts of law, politics, business and organizations, and interpersonal relationships. Activities designed to stimulate critical thinking and to implement the ideas discussed are included at the end of the each chapter. The appendices provide easy access to primary sources that can be used to supplement and enhance the concepts presented in the text.Customer Reviews:

At last . . . welcome dining help for the lone travelerAnyone who has ever traveled alone has faced two options: ordering wildly overpriced room service, or braving unknown streets to dine alone.

Finally here is a book to rescue the lone diner and put the business traveler or newcomer to Chicago at ease when making a dining decision. In Table for One: Chicago, Author Michael Kaminer rates the restaurants in terms of friendliness, service, lighting, food, wines by the glass, and comfort--all from the perspective of the single diner. He also discusses what to expect in terms of price, food preparations, and clientele.

Paradoxical Thinking: How to Profit from Your Contradictions
Jerry L Fletcher , and Kelle Olwyler Manufacturer: Berrett-Koehler Publishers ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 188105280X |
Book Description
Taking advantage of contradictory elements in oneself and one's situation can lead to better performance all aroundEveryone has, at one time or another, approached a daunting task and handled it with calm and focus. The successful resolution of difficult problems requires the ability to take advantage of the disparities inherent a troublesome situation. Only when one confronts and masters both sides of a contradiction can there be a "high performance" or successful outcome. Paradoxical Thinking addresses these considerations.
Fletcher and Olwyler have studied the way people succeed and found that those who understand their own paradoxical qualities are best able to deal with difficult and demanding situations. The authors' clear five-step process shows readers how to identify their own unique "core paradox" and then use it to deal with problems and opportunities in their lives.
Paradoxical Thinking empowers readers by showing when they can make more effective and positive choices in the face of negative possibilities. Readers can use this book -- filled with examples, solutions to actual paradoxical situations, and exercises -- to make satisfying and creative changes in their personal and professional lives.

Paradoxical Thinking: How to Profit from You Contradictions.......2007-01-14
A Good Read!.......2001-11-09
Managing your personal paradox.......2001-09-09
How wrong can you be in your expectations...The book turned out to be a downright fascinating read! The book describes with great clarity a very specific step-by-step method by which you can identify seemingly contradictory characteristics of yourself (the authors call this your 'core paradox'). Both of these contradictory characteristics can be expressed either in a negative way or in a positive way.
When these contradictory characteristics are expressed in their most negative way, a nightmare-scenario can follow. When this happens, a person swings back and forth between the two (negative) sides of the paradox, leaving him or her hopeless, without energy and ineffective. However, when these contradictory characteristics are expressed in their most positive way, both (positive) sides of the paradox are simultaneously present.
Because of this, you can produce creative resolutions of dilemma's that previously seemed intractable. Using a tool called 'Fletcher's pendulum', you can figure out how to get from the negative expression of your core paradox to a positive expression. How this exactly works, you should of course read in the book. It has many examples and is packed with practical wisdom. I found it extremely valuable.

You Can Benefit By Reading This Book.......2006-01-23
Excellent Book.......2000-08-18
Privies edition of the "How to Grow Your Business on the Internet" was one of very the first books about online entrepreneurship I've read. Ant it was really great! But this 3rd edition is much better. It explains the ins and outs of the online business world in plain English -- especially good for beginners.
This is not a computer book, though: if you want to learn about PC's operating systems you'll need additional literature. This excellent book by Vince Emery supplies you with tips on how to market, publicize, and advertise your business online as well as how to generate strategic information using the Internet. A particularly useful chapter uses examples from actual businesses to explain why Internet projects fail and how to make sure yours doesn't.
This is a great place to start! If considering an Internet/Home based business, this is a must read. This is a book for people who take their first steps in the world of Internet entrepreneurship. And I have to say the book does get you thinking and acting. Highly recommend.
