Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 9x6x1; Hardcover and dust jacket. Shelf wear. Binding slightly cocked. Pages unmarked. "Metaphors of inscription and writing figure prominently in all levels of discourse in and about science. The description of nature as a book written in the language of mathematics has been a common trope since at least the time of Galileo, a metaphor supplemented in our own day by the characterization of DNA sequences as the code for the book of life, decipherable in terms of protein semantic units. An important recent direction in the fields of science and literature studies is to consider such descriptions as more than metaphoric, as revelatory of the processes of signification in science more generally. Nearly everywhere we look, the 'semiotic turn' is upon us." Stanford University Press.
