 General Description:

Scott F. Crider

Scott F. Crider addresses the intelligent university student with respect and humor. A short but serious book of rhetoric, it is informed by both the ancient rhetorical tradition and recent discoveries concerning the writing process. Though practical, it is not simply a "how-to" manual; though philosophical, it never loses sight of writing itself. Crider combines practical guidance about how to improve an academic essay with reflection on the purpose--educational, political, and philosophical--of such improvement.

"Mr. Crider's Office of Assertion is the best guide to the writing of essays that I have ever seen, in many years of college and university teaching at Columbia and Dartmouth.  It is designed for good students at either of those levels.  It goes beyond the essential preliminaries to the elements that produce a genuinely good writer, and, far from being dogmatic, it is explanatory and immensely practical." - Jeffrey Hart, author, The Making of the American Conservative Mind
