Quarks and Letters (eBook)

The series Literature and the Natural Sciences is published under the auspices of the Erlangen Research Center for Literature and Natural Sciences (ELINAS). Scholars from different academic disciplines integrate their expertise and methodological know-how to examine how language functions in scientific research and how scientific forms of knowledge are re-modelled and negotiated in literature. The series is conceived as an interdisciplinary platform that reflects on the cultural significance of scientific and literary research, as well as on the rhetoric and ethics of research and reasoning in the natural sciences.
