A Diamond In The Rough

Debating is exciting, but the coaching or teaching of it is rather difficult to do. There are so many boring books on the subject, but Hill's book is not. It is straight forward, and while Canada does use a different format now, the basics are still basics. There are very few points that are completely NOT applicable to Canadian Debating, but in sharp contrast many points are fully applicable.f This was a very good resource, but as you can see from another review, I do have a favourite. But, if you can afford a few books on debate in your library, this should be one as well.
