Description:... Presidents since Theodore Roosevelt have addressed the issues of clean air and water, wilderness and wetlands preservation, and the use of natural resources rhetorically in their public addresses and pragmatically in their policies and appointments to pertinent positions. In Green Talk in the White House, noted scholars present an array of approaches to studying environmental rhetoric and the presidency, covering a range of administrations and a diversity of viewpoints.
