“[A] striking contribution, not just to the environmental
humanities, but to the political project which this field, at its
best, supports.”—Alastair Hunt ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in
Literature & Environment
“. . .this book offers thoughtful insight about the power of
rhetoric occurring in and around environmental politics, and
especially at its edges. The book’s ability to hold a wide-ranging
conversation with a diverse array of interlocutors on the topic of
the importance of language and its political deployment well
deserves a similarly wide-ranging and diverse audience.”—Russell C.
Powell Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture
“Rhetoric needs more audacious scholarship, and Every Living Thing
is audacious yet rigorous. The inclusive nature of Johnson’s
approach is exemplary. Scholars of rhetoric will be citing from all
parts of this book for years to come.”—Debra Hawhee, author of
Rhetoric in Tooth and Claw: Animals, Language, Sensation
“Every Living Thing is a highly original work that is also readily
recognizable, which is a testament to how on point its concept is.
It is brilliantly novel yet familiar. Jenell Johnson’s style and
scholarship, which are of the highest caliber, are worthy of deep
respect.”—Nathan Stormer, author of Sign of Pathology: U.S. Medical
Rhetoric on Abortion, 1800s-1960s
