    Rhetoric as the Art of Listening

    Series Book 2 - Rhetoric & Public Culture: History, Theory, Critique
    If rhetoric is the art of speaking, who is listening? In Being-Moved, Daniel M. Gross provides an answer, showing when and where the art of speaking parted ways with the art of listening – and what happens when they intersect once again.

We employ a matrix-theoretic approach to the calculation of the number of spanning trees.The authors envision this as a ... Read more
