Trade ReviewPeircean Semiotics offers some of the most interesting and insightful perspectives on the nature of communication as a crucial force in the universe, ranging from human language to physics. In
Bloomsbury Semiotics vol. 4, Jamin Pelkey and Paul Cobley have brought together some of the leading semioticians from around the world on an exciting range of topics. This is an important volume that all readers, whether new to semiotics or long-term semioticians, will enjoy and learn a great deal from. I highly recommend it. -- Daniel L.
