Reviews
"Accurate and readable....The supplementary essays and the glossary areparticularly helpful."--Robert O. Sider, Dickinson College, "One of Kennedy's greatest intellectual strengths...has been his sensitivity to and understanding of Aristotle and the Peripatetic contribution to rhetorical theory and practice....And who could be more qualified to enter upon the task [of translating] than Kennedy, who combines thephilological skills of a textual editor with the vast experience of this subject gained in a scholarly career that has been devoted to the study of classical rhetoric....The book is thus an important one and in many ways transcends the limits of the genre into which it superficially fits."--AncientPhilosophy, "An excellent translation and a wonderful volume. It is great to teachwith!"--William Keith, University of Louisville, "Excellent, relevant introduction. Makes an understandable connection between rhetoric and democratic process (or the lack thereof)."--Helena Worthen, College of Alameda, "Wonderful!

Kennedy makes a fairly difficult work accessible."--StuartGreene, University of Wisconsin, "Excellent, relevant introduction.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
