Don't judge the book by it's cover. I enjoyed every page of it, and the text is represented in an interesting fashion that keeps you going. I am so glad I decided to purchase this, even to read as leisure. :)
I took an honors class in critical thinking as an undergraduate (sadly more than 10 years ago now), and we used this text and another by Quine. It's really a kind of conceptual model for arguments and, if read it enough, you'll find yourself placing arguments you see or hear into its schema and seeing how well it all hangs together. It takes its CGWB (claims-grounds-warrants-backing) pattern and applies it to a handful of disciplines, showing how this way of construing argument exports well into other fields. For learning about reasoning and logic, I would couple this text with one on formal logic, and you'll have a good sense of these related fields. Perhaps Elementary Symbolic Logic or if you're really looking to move into more advanced topics, Quine's Methods of Logic. Happy trails.
I forced this and other similar books on those I thought needed it. Doesn't work; or works only on those predisposed to let logic and evidence take precedence over their cherished delusions.
It was an excellent trade for me.
On time, as described.
Toulmin's contribution to rhetoric is well known and this is one of the fundamental stones not only for rhetoric but for how to better think and argument, and also (of course) to getting a more influence skills.This is one of the best
