Paperback. Debate rewards anyone who understands how an argument is actually built. This book takes arguments apart piece by piece, names every working component, and shows you how to assemble one that holds up under pressure. Nine chapters move from the smallest unit of reasoning to full competitive rounds, and each builds on the one before it. Real cases carry the material: the Morton Thiokol engineers who were right about the Challenger O-rings and still could not make the case, the seven Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858, and courtroom cross-examinations that lost the verdict and won the record. Each chapter closes with questions that ask you to apply what you just read. The chapters cover: - Claims, reasons, and warrants, plus the gap between validity and soundness - Categorical syllogisms, conditional reasoning, and why confusing necessary with sufficient conditions collapses so many public arguments - Ethos, pathos, and logos, with practical guidance on reading a room and adjusting to it, because the case that convinces an engineering team will fall flat at a city council meeting - Primary versus secondary sources, credibility tests, and the point where statistics stop telling the truth, including what a margin of error does and does not cover - Six fallacies you will start hearing in meetings within a week - Contention-based case construction, resolution framing, and weighing mechanisms - Cross-examination sequencing, catching a logical gap while someone is still talking, and turning an opponent's own argument in your direction - Policy, Lincoln-Douglas, Public Forum, and Parliamentary formats, with the speech structure and specific demands of each - Cognitive bias, the line between persuading and manipulating, and intellectual honesty as a working habit Written for: - Competitive debaters preparing for a tournament - Students in argumentation, rhetoric, logic, or composition courses - Teachers and coaches building a semester of instruction - Professionals who present cases to boards, clients, juries, or committees - Readers who want to stop being moved by reasoning they cannot examine The back matter carries the book past a single read. A history section traces persuasive argument across the Athenian assembly, Roman courts, medieval disputation, Enlightenment pamphlets, and televised debate. Worked answers to every end-of-chapter question let you check your reasoning against a modeled response. A glossary defines every technical term in the text, including enthymeme, modus tollens, kritik, and number needed to treat. Roughly ninety percent of the arguments aimed at you were built by someone who wants something from you. Once you can see the machinery, the weak ones stop working. A statistic quoted without a sample size looks different. A politician answering a question nobody asked becomes obvious. Read the book once to learn construction. Keep it for defense. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

Debate rewards anyone who understands how an argument is actually built. This book takes arguments apart piece by piece, names every working component, and shows you how to assemble one that holds up under pressure.
Nine chapters move from the smallest unit of reasoning to full competitive rounds, and each builds on the one before it. Real cases carry the material: the Morton Thiokol engineers who were right about the Challenger O-rings and still could not make the case, the seven Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858, and courtroom cross-examinations that lost the verdict and won the record. Each chapter closes with questions that ask you to apply what you just read.
The chapters cover:
- Claims, reasons, and warrants, plus the gap between validity and soundness
- Categorical syllogisms, conditional reasoning, and why confusing necessary with sufficient conditions collapses so many public arguments
- Ethos, pathos, and logos, with practical guidance on reading a room and adjusting to it, because the case that convinces an engineering team will fall flat at a city council meeting
- Primary versus secondary sources, credibility tests, and the point where statistics stop telling the truth, including what a margin of error does and does not cover
- Six fallacies you will start hearing in meetings within a week
- Contention-based case construction, resolution framing, and weighing mechanisms
- Cross-examination sequencing, catching a logical gap while someone is still talking, and turning an opponent's own argument in your direction
- Policy, Lincoln-Douglas, Public Forum, and Parliamentary formats, with the speech structure and specific demands of each
- Cognitive bias, the line between persuading and manipulating, and intellectual honesty as a working habit
Written for:
- Competitive debaters preparing for a tournament
- Students in argumentation, rhetoric, logic, or composition courses
- Teachers and coaches building a semester of instruction
- Professionals who present cases to boards, clients, juries, or committees
- Readers who want to stop being moved by reasoning they cannot examine

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom, sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.

El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
- El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
