ReviewsThis textbook is an extraordinary contribution to the teaching of superior-level discourse, as defined in the Proficiency Guidelines, in the Russian-language curriculum because it compels students to engage in argument on abstract topics. The authors deftly present 'hot topics' about which students will most certainly have their own opinions. Students using this textbook will enhance their speaking skills not only in Russian, but also in their native language, precisely because they will learn to structure their arguments logically, using rhetorical devices to select and emphasize evidence and point listeners to their conclusions. This textbook is outstanding because it teaches language skills in the context of the greater liberal arts enterprise of critical thinking and analysis.
