<br/><br/> Rhetoric is what gives words power. It's nothing to be  afraid of. It isn't the exclusive preserve of politicians:  it's everywhere, from your argument with the insurance  company to your plea to the waitress for a table near the  window. This book examines how people have taught,  practiced and thought about rhetoric from its Attic origins  onwards.
