Available now for the first time in paperback, COMMUNICATING
SCIENCE: THE SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE FROM THE 17TH CENTURY TO THE
PRESENT elaborates the emergence of the scientific article from its
beginnings to the present. Gross, Harmon, and Reidy analyze
numerous sample texts in French, English, and German, focusing on
the changes in the style, organization, and argumentative structure
of scientific communication over time. The authors also speculate
on the currency and influence of the scientific article in the
digital age. COMMUNICATING SCIENCE: THE SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE FROM THE
17TH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT has been an invaluable resource text in
the rhetoric of science and stands as the definitive study on the
topic. " COMMUNICATING SCIENCE] offers a moment of coalescence in
the rhetoric of science as a model of rigorous research, not likely
to be duplicated soon. It will be a staple introductory text in
science studies courses and a stimulant for better scholarship in
the field." -Jeanne Fahnestock, RHETORIC SOCIETY QUARTERLY
"Communicating Science is a substantial contribution to the
literature mapping out the changing language and rhetoric of the
scientific article from 1665 to the present." -Charles Bazerman,
ISIS "Gross, Harmon, and Reidy have set a new and higher standard
for methodological and presentational rigor in scientific
communication content analysis." ��-Kathryn Northcut, JOURNAL OF
TECHNICAL WRITING AND COMMUNICATION "Gross, Harmon, and Reidy's
decision to emphasize depth over breadth is characteristic of
groundbreaking scholarship." -Suzanne Black, JOURNAL OF BUSINESS
AND TECHNICAL COMMUNICATION "Communicating Science is a marvel of
scholarship and expression and deserves to be in the curriculum of
every university's rhetoric department." -Tim Whalen, IEEE
TRANSACTIONS ON PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION "The book will be an
essential starting point for future discussion of the history of
scientific writing." -John Turney, DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTIONS "A
