Description

Book Synopsis
Promoting critical and creative anachronism, Metaphors of Mind redefines the notion of an archive in the age of Amazon and Google Books.

Trade Review
While the book is not meant to be read as a monograph but as a dictionary, many well-versed readers will be tempted to do so anyway, so rich and lush are both language and litany. American Reference Books Annual ... the database behind the book lets one investigate the verb, instance by instance. The book itself provides a bird's eye view of its large terrain, and the reader can easily settle on specific images to investigate in the hundred pages of detailed endnotes. Modern Philology
