Trade Review
...this book will inform how we understand not just whether to teach argument but what kind of argument to teach and how. - Rhetoric Review ""Roberts-Miller provides a much-needed backdrop to discussions about how to teach argument and about how to help students become discursively responsive and responsible citizens of a democracy. The theory of deliberative democracy on which the author ultimately rests her argument is compelling - and persuasively presented."" - Susan Jarratt, author of Rereading the Sophists
