The Poetics of Mind: Figurative Thought, Language, and Understanding
"...accessible to the uninitiated reader and still maintains the highest scholarly standards...Anyone who is interested in the relationship between language and thought should read this book, and they will not be disappointed."   Boaz Keysar, Contemporary Psychology"...remarkable both for its comprehensive treatment of its subject and for the way it puts poetics, that is, figurative thought (the variety of tropes), at the very heart of mental operations and social interactions....strongly recommended."   James W. Fernandez, American Anthropologist
