And No Birds Sing

Craig Waddell is an associate professor of rhetoric at Michigan Technological University. He is also editor of Landmark Essays on Rhetoric and the Environment.

"This collection of original critical and contexting essays, And No Birds Sing, provides rhetorical analyses and additional materials aiding further analyses of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, one of the most significant public documents in setting citizen and policy agendas in this half century. As the first volume of rhetorical analysis on this important work, Waddell's collection makes a major contribution to contemporary rhetoric, rhetoric of the environment, history of the environmental movement, Rachel Carson studies, and contemporary American culture."—Charles Bazerman, author of Constructing Experience
