Abstract:

In this manifesto, distinguished critic Wayne Booth claims that
communication in every corner of life can be improved if we study rhetoric
closely.

- Written by Wayne Booth, author of the seminal book, The Rhetoric of
Fiction (1961).

- Explores the consequences of bad rhetoric in education, in politics, and
in the media.

- Investigates the possibility of reducing harmful conflict by practising a
rhetoric that depends on deep listening by both sides.
