Written for undergraduates and researchers alike, this concise and impressive book contains adult, adolescent, long, and short versions of the Argumentativeness and Verbal Aggressiveness scales, and twelve well-written and thoroughly researched chapters. If studying these traits ever becomes a religion, this book will be its bible! (Charles J. Wigley III, Canisius College) Rancer and Avtgis provide a comprehensive examination of argumentativeness and verbal aggressiveness. The breadth of contextual explorations and the depth with which they capture the nature and application of these constructs are impressive, making this book an essential resource handbook for students and scholars alike. (Rachel DiCioccio, University of Rhode Island)

Toby F. Coley's central and significant argument - of the need for students to reflect on and learn about ethical literacy when writing with digital media - raises important issues for all instructors to consider. Using site-specific examples, Coley shows that ethical issues arise in all phases of teaching and learning with digital media, and he proposes an interesting and helpful curriculum for integrating ethical literacy into a digital composing curriculum. (Heidi A. McKee, Associate Professor, Miami University) In the context of the revolution that has been taking place in the creation, use, and dissemination of text in all its forms and purposes, Toby F. Coley's book offers us a sophisticated and much-needed analysis of the ethical dimensions of digital literacies. (Chris Anson, Director of the Campus Writing and Speaking Program, North Carolina State University)
