Inhaltsangabe

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.

Críticas

Gross makes his case for a rhetorical analysis of science with impressive virtuosity. His examples range from Copernican astronomy to contemporary peer review, from optics to oncology, and from Darwin's private notebooks to recent debates about recombinant DNA.--John Durant "Times Literary Supplement "
