Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating:  out of 5 stars - Welcome uncovering of "objective" social science rhetoric
A fine collection of essays, many of them written with an eye to persuasion, on how the various disciplines employ rhetorical devices to persuade while claiming an "objective" stance. Particularly useful are the essays by Renato Rosaldo on the rhetoric of anthropology, John Campbell on Darwin's sustained focus on persuasion, and William Boyd White on the rhetoric of the law. These three are worth the price of admission; the additional dozen or so essays are a bonus.



Rating:  out of 5 stars - Rhetoric Shmetoric: this book is incredibly boring
After reviewing the need for and renewed acceptance of rhetoric in the sciences, the book turns in to a unbelievably dull rendering of scientific pieces by authors who have yet to master the art of rhetoric.
