Practical Action
This book presents a dynamic model of practical action that challenges the one imposed by the cognitive sciences. Integrating Wittgenstein, pragmatism, and interactionist sociology, it reveals a radically contextual conception of human individual and collective behaviour.
Creative Learning and MOOCs
This publication showcases papers presented at the 11th Learning and Technology Conference held in Saudi Arabia in 2014, reflecting upon the recent implementation of Massive Open Online Courses, which provide opportunities for learning to large numbers of students at little cost.
This book uses cognitive semantics to analyze the concept of “The Christian Life” in John Henry Newman’s sermons. It identifies metaphorical models, such as “A Journey” and “A Race,” that blend everyday concepts with the domain of Christianity.

This volume addresses the long-standing debate on the “word”. Eleven authors analyze its multi-faceted nature from multiple linguistic perspectives, contributing to a more thorough comprehension than any single approach can afford.

Infinity in Language
This book explores one of the most fascinating problems of the human mind: how the experience of infinity is expressed in language. Using cognitive semantics and poetics, it develops a model of the rhetoric of the sublime to answer how we present the unpresentable.
Conceptual Blending and the Arts
Warchoł analyses how the processes described in Conceptual Blending Theory can be applied in practice, on the basis of Michał Batory’s posters designed for artistic events, highlighting how Batory’s artefacts influence people and convey hidden messages.
Drawing from Memories
This book explores drawing from memory, synthesizing representation, memory, space, and creativity. For both scientific and artistic readers, it reveals drawing as a transformative act of invention, opening new perspectives on perception and creative expression.
Need for Sleep
This book explores the influence of fairytale details and imagery on adult cognition, and will be of interest to scholars concerned with how cognition relates specifically to understanding the subjective experience of daydreaming.
