490 1  Studies in rhetoric/communication 
504    Includes bibliographical references and index. 
520    "Scientific arguments--and indeed arguments in most 
       disciplines--depend on visuals and other nontextual 
       elements; however, most models of argumentation typically 
       neglect these important resources. In Assembling Arguments,
       Jonathan Buehl offers a concentrated study of scientific 
       argumentation that is sensitive to both the historical and
       theoretical possibilities of multimodal persuasion as it 
       advances two related claims. First, rhetorical theory--
       when augmented with methods for reading nonverbal 
       representations--can provide the analytical tools needed 
       to understand and appreciate multimodal scientific 
       arguments. Second, science--an inherently multimodal 
       enterprise--offers ideal subjects for developing general 
       theories of multimodal rhetoric applicable across fields. 
       In developing these claims, Buehl offers a comprehensive 
       account of scientific persuasion as a multimodal process 
       and develops a simple but productive framework for 
       analyzing and teaching multimodal argumentation. 
       Comprising five case studies, the book provides detailed 
       treatments of argumentation in specific technological and 
       historical contexts: argumentation before World War I, 
       when images circulated by hand and by post; argumentation 
       during the mid-twentieth century, when computers were 
       beginning to bolster scientific inquiry but images 
       remained hand-crafted products; and argumentation at the 
       turn of the twenty-first century--an era of digital 
       revolutions and digital fraud. Each study examines the 
       rhetorical problems and strategies of specific scientists 
       to investigate key issues regarding visualization and 
       argument: 1) establishing new instruments as reliable 
       sources of visual evidence; 2) creating novel arguments 
       from reliable visual evidence; 3) creating novel arguments
       with unreliable visual evidence; 4) preserving the 
       credibility of visualization practices; and 5) creating 
       multimodal artifacts before and in the era of digital 
       circulation. Given the growing enterprise of rhetorical 
       studies and the field's contributions to communication 
       practices in all disciplines, rhetoricians need a 
       comprehensive rhetoric of science--one that accounts for 
       the multimodal arguments that change our relation to 
       reality. Assembling Arguments argues that such rhetoric 
       should enable the interpretation of visual scientific 
       arguments and improve science-writing instruction"--
