这是第一本关于修辞学和环境政治学的书，呼吁结束目前经济和进化进步之间过于简单化的冲突，而是建议一个涵盖人类对自然的全部看法的连续体。（作者如雷切尔卡森，阿尔多利奥波德，巴里康芒纳和赫尔曼戴利）长期被文学，修辞和文化评论家忽视，以及新闻报道和故事，工业和激进主义者的论战、政府文件、教科书、技术文献和小说，以表明以既定二分法为中心的修辞产生了“生态语言“，它使行动瘫痪而不是提供信息。
This first book-length study of rhetoric and environmental politics calls for an end to the present oversimplified conflict between economic and evolutionary progress and suggests instead a continuum embracing the full range of human views of nature.The authors use a systematic analysis of well-known works of nonfiction literature (by such authors as Rachel Carson, Aldo Leopold, Barry Commoner, and Herman Daly) long neglected by literary, rhetorical, and cultural critics, as well as journalistic reports and stories, industry and activist polemics, government documents, textbooks, technical literature, and novels to show that rhetoric centered on the established dichotomy gives rise to "ecospeak, "which paralyzes instead of informing action.
