Description

In this important book, a leading authority in the field of social theory and communication shows how science is a rhetorical and narrative activity--a story well told. Richard Harvey Brown argues that expert knowledge is a form of power and explains how a narrative view of science can integrate science within a democratic civic discourse, as in the movement for environmental justice in the United States.
