This thread is a wonderful study in argumentation. I teach argumentation and this has great examples of how different people use different patterns of reasoning (deductive, inductive, analogical, etc.) and evidence to make their point. I may copy this thread and use it in my course as some kind of in-class exercise.
Persuasion from the pschological, business or legal sense. I was just wondering if you had a good book recommendations on negotiations other than Getting to Yes and The Power of a Positive No by Ury.
Sorry, can't help you out with a book recommendation in that area. My focus is more on persuasion from a public speaking point of view.
