The World According to Michael Moore
In all of his books Michael Moore has proven to be outspoken and outrageous. This compilation of quotes from interviews and a variety of other sources presents Moore's views on everything from politics to filmmaking and the state of American life and culture.
Legal, Moral, and Metaphysical Truths
Perhaps more than any other scholar, Michael Moore has argued that there are deep and necessary connections between metaphysics, morality, and law. Moore has developed every contour of a theory of criminal law, from philosophy of action to a theory of causation. Indeed, not only is he the central figure in retributive punishment but his moral realist position places him at the center of many jurisprudential debates. Comprised of essays by leading scholars, this volume discusses and challenges the work of Michael Moore from one or more of the areas where he has made a lasting contribution, namely, law, morality, metaphysics, psychiatry, and neuroscience. The volume begins with a riveting cont...

We Are All Whalers
"Marine scientist Michael J. Moore says we are all whalers, but we don't have to be. Eating fish leads to North Atlantic right whales' entanglement and death. Buying goods made around the world requires global shipping routes, which do not accurately consider right whale breeding and feeding sites, leading to collision. To explain this, Moore conveys to readers scenes from over thirty years' worth of fieldwork, performing whale necropsies for animals stranded on beaches, working as an independent researcher alongside whalers using explosive harpoons, and tracking injured pregnant whales to deliver antibiotics. Despite these sometimes disturbing experiences, Moore has written a hopeful book. He uses these stories to show we can change and to tell us how; the technology for rope-less fishing and tracking whale migrations already exist to protect both right whales and the people who depend on shipping and fishing for their livelihoods"--
Moore & Us
Love him or hate him, Michael Moore has touched a nerve in American culture and politics. His controversial documentaries have achieved a stunning level of success in the United States and abroad, and his influence in political circles continues to grow. In Moore and Us, Jesse Larner considers the cultural phenomenon that Moore has become. From his early days in journalism to his film breakthrough with Roger & Me, from the furor around Fahrenheit 9/11 to his use of the film in trying to affect the 2004 presidential election, Larner charts Moore's career and explores the man in all of his guises: populist, prankster, preacher, rock star, and unlikely folk hero. Critical when warranted, and giving credit where credit is due, Larner's book holds appeal for thoughtful readers of all political leanings, from fans of Moore and Al Franken to readers of Sean Hannity and other conservative critics.
Michael Moore and the Rhetoric of Documentary
In the first in-depth study of Moore's feature-length documentary films, editors Thomas W. Benson and Brian J. Snee have gathered leading rhetoric scholars to examine the production, rhetorical appeals, and audience reception of these films. Contributors critique the films primarily as modes of public argument and political art. Each essay is devoted to one of Moore's films and traces in detail how each film invites specific audience responses.

American Dissident
FINALLY, A LEFT-WING LOOK AT THE WORK OF AMERICA'S MOST CONTROVERSIAL FILMMAKER! - With his new film Sicko, Michael Moore proves once again that he is the leading creative voice for the new Left in America. Few have criticized the social and foreign policies of the American government the way Moore did in his films, books, and TV shows. Titles such as Roger & Me, Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 are now associated with an artist who has dedicated his professional life to expose the foibles of an America that believes itself virtuous and free, but which can only breathe on feelings of anger, mistrust and paranoia. American Dissident: The Political Art of Michael Moore is an engaging and thought-provoking look at the work of America's favorite civil libertarian. Through a personal reading and impassioned defense of Moore's project, it offers for the first time a detailed analysis of his feature films and two television series to date, TV Nation and The Awful Truth.
