Save Lives or Save the Rhetoric?

This timely book discusses the numerous forms of flawed reasoning that currently plague the realm of public discourse both in the United States and abroad. This book provides and develops a working knowledge of the skills needed to distinguish between rhetorical claims and evidence based claims. The author presents and shows how to debug numerous currently relevant real world examples. Innovative discussion questions provide the reader an opportunity to practice and be actively involved. The objective throughout is pedagogy, not partisanship: to help the reader better understand current events, better evaluate public policy, identify its rhetoric and that of partisan debates.
