Dear Graham,
I join you in thanking people for their suggestions. You probably
already know Jimmie Killingsworth. I've heard him speak very powerfully
about the rhetoric of environmentalism. He has two books that might be
of interest for your focus on rhetoric about environmental issues.
In 1992, he and and Jacqueline Palmer published Ecospeak: Rhetoric and
Environmental Politics (Southern Illinois).
In 2005, again with Southern Illinois, he published what he calls a
textbook for a course in rhetorical theory -- Appeals in Modern
Rhetoric: An Ordinary-Language Approach. I've found the book in the
library here today and have only glanced at it so far, but I note that
the index has several entries under "environmental rhetoric," with a
further cross-reference to some pages on Aldo Leopold.
Margaret
