The History of Metaphors of Nature: Science and Literature from Homer to Al Gore, Том 2Edwin Mellen Press, 2006 - 925 стор.

Metaphors used in natural science and literature, such as Mother Nature, have a powerful influence on the framing of scientific hypothesis making, and these words have guided the history of natural science for several millennia, while also influencing North American nature writing. |
