Rhetoric from Aristotle to Obama by Sam Leith. The Neurocritic on the return of physiognomy. Full of old men in togas droning on, Latin words you can barely wrap your tongue around and all manner of complicated rules? He traces the art of persuasion from its ancient origins to the modern world. As Sam Leith points out in his brilliant recent book, You Talkin' to Me? In the telling of this lively story, Greenblatt adduces yet more evidence for Shelley's line that poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world. Not so in Sam Leith's new book You Talkin' To Me? Until I read a book just recently I didn't quite understand how important the mastery of this could be for leaders and managers too (and I don't mean the mastery of empty rhetoric!). Speaker: Sam Leith, columnist and author of 'You Talkin' to Me?: Rhetoric from Aristotle to Obama' (Profile Books, 2011). Leith's book is, in fact, a magnificently entertaining romp through the intricacies of classic rhetorical technique from Aristotle to Obama. Rhetoric from Aristotle to Obama.
