I'm right and you're an idiot : the toxic state of public discourse and how to clean it up / James Hoggan with Grania Litwin.
"Just as the natural environment can be polluted, so too can public discourse. I'm Right and You're an Idiot examines the sorry state of today's public square, showing how polluted, polarized conversations discourage people from taking action on critical issues such as climate change, and demonstrating how we can clear the air and become more powerful and effective communicators." -- Provided by publisher.
