Votes that Count and Voters Who Don’t

How Journalists Sideline Electoral Participation (Without Even Knowing It)

Sharon E. Jarvis and Soo-Hye Han

“Why are reporters constantly tempted to predict—or even to declare—election results before people even vote? In this fascinating book, Jarvis and Han identify a growing attitude of dismissiveness that echoes academic research on easily manipulated citizens and reinforces the public’s cynicism about democracy. They show that this condescension has serious consequences. The authors’ analytical rigor is matched by their respect and concern for everyday people: a rare and worthy combination.”—Peter Levine, author of We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For: The Promise of Civic Renewal in America

Advocating Weapons, War, and Terrorism

Technological and Rhetorical Paradox

Ian E. J. Hill

“This is an impressive first book: well researched, carefully argued, and engagingly written. Hill posits ‘technological rhetoric’ as an original, interdisciplinary perspective on Technē’s Paradox. Grounded in thorough readings of rhetorical critique as well as science and technology studies, his longitudinal study of ‘machine rhetoric’ warrants attention both for the cases examined—from Malthus to the Unabomber—and for the individual and collective insights the analysis yields.”—David Henry, Sanford Berman Professor, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
