Our everyday experiences entail the use of symbols, both our own and those of others. We engage in "the process of thinking about symbols, discovering how they work and why they affect us, and choosing to communicate in particular ways as a result of the options they present. This process is called rhetorical criticism." Foss guides readers to an awareness and understanding of what rhetoric is and how it is used to create reality. She helps readers to become more discriminating in explaining, investigating, and understanding symbols and in devising their responses to them. This valuable book will help readers hone their abilities as communicators and also as audience members. This is a clear presentation of prevailing approaches to rhetorical criticism. I have found it useful with both introductory and advanced students. The bibliographies are particularly helpful." -- Gary Hatch, Brigham Young University "A balanced book that provides the student with both theory and examples. The variety of topics gives the necessary breadth for our students, while individual articles often serve as models when they have to do papers." -- Don M. Boileau, George Mason University "I love it. My students find it accessible and helpful. I've used the text 3 years now and have not seen anything better." -- Debbie Williams, Abilene Christian University "An excellent text with step-by-step method for application by students." -- Deborah Walker, University of South Florida "This book is a comprehensive and useful text on rhetorical criticism--much needed in the field and still one of the only texts for advanced study of applied criticism." -- Danika Brown, University of Texas, Pan Am --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
