This book is an innovative introduction to the meaning and use of
language, specifically in terms of the study of environment and the
formulation of policy. It draws on a wide range of sources, from
the mass media in North America, Britain and elsewhere to
specialist articles written about environmental issues wherever
they occur.
The book focuses on rhetoric and discourse in environmental
issues. Based authoritatively on both cultural and environmental
studies, it reflects the backgrounds of both authors. It also deals
with the historical background and contemporary usage in both the
academic and public domains. This book encourages reflexive insight
into the language people use to write about the environment, how
that language transmits feelings, shapes ideas, and connects
visions. Using illustrative quotations from a wide variety of
publications about environmental issues, Myerson and Rydin
demonstrate how crucial it is for writers and speakers about the
environment to at least attempt to speak the same language.
