From the publisher's description: "This book embarks on an experiment: two aggressive »acids« of modern theory are combined in a laboratory beaker to observe how the mixture reacts. Both Charles Darwin and Michel Foucault represent lines of thought that radically broke with tradition while calling into question not only the difference between the natural world and culture, but also the assumed inherent nature of things.

In the process, it exposes that things have no inherent »identity« or »nature«, even that the very idea of a stable order within the natural world is preposterous.

London: The Bibliographical Society & The British Library, 2002 8vo (24.5 cm), 132 pp. Laminated wrappers (top corner little creased). Apart from illustrations, borders are the most important -- and most frequent -- element of decoration in late medieval English manuscripts. Borders alter in style at a quicker chronological pace than the work of scribes, and systematic analysis and comparison allow a researcher more accuracy in dating a manuscript than other means. At the same time, a sense of the hierarchy of borders is advantageous to the scholar who is seeking to understand the medieval response to a given text. Yet up until now borders have received little detailed study, this work offers a presentation of a century of English manuscripts, illustrated with 50 key images.
