Synaesthesia

A "Golden Thread" through Life? Edited by Alexandra Dittmar.

The book first provides an overview of the state of knowledge relating to synaesthesia, from the diversity of synaesthetic experience to some of the many findings and theories yielded by synaesthesia research. After an introduction to the subject of orientation the principal thesis of the book is outlined - that synaesthesia can be a form of orientation. There then follow 21 accounts, some of them illustrated, of synaesthetic experience combined with reflection on the question of whether synaesthesia can be used for orientation. 293 Seiten mit 33 Farbabb., broschiert (Psychologie in der Blauen Eule; vol. 11/Verlag Die Blaue Eule 2009) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
