Informative, illuminative, effective, "user friendly".

In A Guide To Argumentative Writing, Byron Stay (President of the National Writing Centers Association, associate professor and chair of the Rhetoric and Writing Department of Mount St. Mary's College in Emmitsburg, Maryland, and member of the editorial board on a number of professional writing journals draws upon his many years of experience to emphasize the role critical thinking and reading skills pay in the development and execution of persuasive writing. Professor Stay also introduces several effective methods to teach argument as a way of giving students and writers the freedom to find the system that works best for them, and to find ways of incorporating these systems into their writing and thinking. A Guide To Argumentative Writing is informative, illuminative, effective, "user friendly", and highly recommended reading for any writer seeking to successfully persuade or challenge his or her readership regardless of the subject, topic, or issue they are writing about.
