| Abstract | "This work presents a case for engagement between the sciences and the humanities - focusing particularly on literature- and an empirical, non-theory-based approach thereto. Written from the perspective of a professional chemist, it seeks to demonstrate that the connections between those fields of intellectual activity are far more significant than anything that separates them"-- Provided by publisher. |
