I Is an Other: The Secret Life of Metaphor and How It Shapes the Way We See the World
James Geary
Takes readers from Aristotle's investigation of metaphor right up to the neuroscientific insights into how metaphor works in the brain. This title explores how a life without metaphor, as experienced by some people with autism spectrum disorders, significantly changes the way a person interacts with the world.
