Review of Technical Communication for Environmental Action

Abstract

Technical Communication for Environmental Action, edited by Sean D. Williams, offers a range of voices examining multiple angles and approaches to using technical communicators to advance environmental action. The edited collection, published by State University of New York Press, provides an introduction by Williams, 11 authored chapters, and an epilogue by Caroline Gottschalk-Druschke. This collection is timely and necessary because, although research on technical communication related to environmental action is increasing, there is still relatively little guidance on it. Williams explains that the goal of the collection is to provide voices surrounding three rhetorical concepts: praxis, phronesis, and dialogue.
