In addition to being amazingly flexible tools for understanding the natural and social worlds, they are also of substantial theoretical interest. Time constraints will prevent us from doing more than scratching the surface of this rich and interesting subject, but I hope you’ll see enough of it to come to appreciate its power and flexibility.en-USRhodes College owns the rights to the archival digital objects in this collection.
