From the reviews:"There is a little something for almost any serious student or scholar of argumentation to chew on in this volume. ... provide an important snapshot of theoretical issues scholars grapple with in the first decade of the twenty-first century. ... recommend this book to anyone looking for an introduction to the breadth and depth of contemporary argumentation scholarship. ... helpful in introducing a variety of approaches to argumentation scholarship that one might not normally come across when conducting research from one's own disciplinary vantage point."­­­ (Harry Weger Jr., Argumentation, Vol. 25, 2011)
