Descriere magazin:
The creators of An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments return at last with a desperately timely guide to rhetoric Public discourse? More like public discord. The battle cries of our culture wars are rife with loaded language--be it bias, slant, or spin. But listen closely, or you\'ll miss what Ali Almossawi finds more frightening still: words that erase accountability, history, even identity through what they leave unsaid. Speaking as wise old Mr. Rabbit, Almossawi leads us through a dark forest of rhetoric--aided by Orwell, Baldwin, and a squee-worthy cast of wide-eyed woodland creatures. Here, passive voice can pardon wrongdoers, statistics may be a smokescreen, gaslighting entraps the downtrodden, and irrelevant adjectives cement stereotypes. Emperor Squirrel isn\'t naked; he has a clothes-free sartorial style. Mouse\'s roof becomes flattened (Elephant\'s foot just happens to be there at the time). And when keen-eyed Owl claims a foreign shore, he seems to be overlooking someone . . . Fans of Almossawi\'s An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments couldn\'t ask for a better primer on the less logical ways that words can trick us. It takes a long pair of ears to hear what\'s left unsaid--but when you\'re a rabbit in a badger world, listening makes all the difference. This is a book for every thinking person, the perfect antidote to today\'s culture wars. --Hope Jahren The creators of An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments return with this desperately timely guide to how words can trick us.
