More than cool reason: a field guide to poetic metaphor, paperback/george lakoff

The authors restore metaphor to our lives by showing us that its never gone away.

Weve merely been taught to talk as if it had: as though weather maps were more real than the breath of autumn; as though, for that matter, Reason was really cool.

What were saying whenever we say is a theme this book illumines for anyone attentive.

- Hugh Kenner, Johns Hopkins University In this bold and powerful book, Lakoff and Turner continue their use of metaphor to show how our minds get hold of the world.

They have achieved nothing less than a postmodern Understanding Poetry, a new way of reading and teaching that makes poetry again important.

- Norman Holland, University of Florida.
