This book focuses on the uses of scientific evidence within three
types of environmental discourses: popular nonfiction books about
the environment; traditional and social media texts created by a
grassroots environmental group; and a set of data displays that
make arguments about global warming in a variety of media and
contexts. It traces the operations of eight commonplaces about
science and shows how they recur throughout these contexts,
starting with Rachel Carson's Silent Spring and ending with
contemporary blogs and social media. The commonplaces are shown to
embed ideological assumptions and simultaneously challenge those
assumptions. In addition, the book addresses the potential dangers
involved in relying too heavily on aspects of these commonplaces,
and how they can undermine the goals of some of the writers who use
them.
