"The authors restore metaphor to our lives by showing us that it's
never gone away. We've 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 we're
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
