jendragonpen's review against another edition
4.0
Some of my favorite aspects of this book include the authors' reflections on each of their major topics, pedagogical applications, and the lists of related texts, several of which I highlighted to possibly read later. The metaphor of assaying (used to introduce the authors' practice of rhetorical assaying) is a useful way of visualizing the type of analysis the authors propose throughout this text.
While I found that some of the ideas were repetitive, the authors' inclusions of examples from both their own and others' works provided deep insights into the research practices they promote and how they can be (and/or are currently being) put into practice; one of the most memorable examples for me was when Kirsch described her experience searching for records of Ellen Browning Scripps.
