Description and Table of Contents
Description
Alan Gross applies the principles of rhetoric to the interpretation of classical and contemporary scientific texts to show how they persuade both author and audience. The text considers the ways in which scientists - from Copernicus to Darwin to Newton to James Watson - establish authority and convince one another and us of the truth they describe.
