Cosmos and the Rhetoric of Popular Science

By Karen Schroeder Sorensen

This book uses classic and modern rhetorical concepts to investigate what made Carl Sagan's Cosmos: A Personal Voyage a rhetorical masterwork. It examines how kairos, ethos, "ēthos" (a type of forum or framing), and mythos contribute to its persuasive power.
