'This is a remarkable book... it covers an awesome amount of ground. It tells us in some detail what cognitivists, social constructionists, discourse analysts, argumentation theorists, conversation analysts and others have to contribute to our understanding of explanation, reasoning, argument, excuses and justification... It is remarkable also for the clarity of its exposition, which is such as to command this reader's unqualified admiration and gratitude. The style is disarmingly unpretentious, even playful. The author demonstrates once and for all that it is possible to write about ethnomethodology, conversation analysis and the rest without resorting to opaque and tortured prose, thus performing a feat many of us had dispairingly come to accept as all but unachieveable' - Theory & Psychology 'Antaki's contribution is the enabling of clear distinctions between different methods often used eclectically by those calling their work discourse analysis, such as conversation analysis and rhetorical approaches' - The Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory 'Antaki presents a cogent account of the process of explaining in social discourse. He takes a systematic approach to the subject and the chapter dealing with attributions is particularly well done... Antaki draws connections between understanding the complexities of explaining and arguing and areas of interest in social psychology in general and social cognition specifically. Another strength of the work lies in the author's incorporation of issues of culture in the explanatory process. Researchers working in the area of impression formation and recovery from biased impressions will be especially likely to benefit from the insights provided in this work...

Antaki is one of the few thinkers conversant both with the new qualitative paradigms in the social sciences - conversation analysis, discourse analysis, rhetorical approaches - and with the mainstream social psychological approach of attribution theory.

Synopsis
This text offers a critical review of the major approaches to the study of everyday explaining and arguing. Illuminating the range of contemporary approaches with concrete examples, the author's concern is to test theory against practice., Explanations identify causes, back up claims and justify actions. Social scientists study them because they reveal how people understand and construct their worlds. This stimulating book offers a critical review of the major approaches to the study of everyday explaining and arguing. Using concrete examples to illuminate the range of contemporary approaches, Antakis concern is to test theory against practice. He draws a picture of explanation as a richly social achievement of speaker and audience, involving a balance between delicate manoeuvre and the exercise of discursive power., This text offers a critical review of the major approaches to the study of everyday explaining and arguing.
