约翰道尔顿的分子结构。散点图和几何图。沃森和克里克的双螺旋。科学家理解世界的方式--以及解释世界的关键概念--不仅与文字有关，而且与图像有关。此外，从PowerPoint演示文稿到学术期刊上的文章，科学交流通常依赖于文字和图片之间的关系。在《从视觉到洞察力的科学》一书中，艾伦·G。Gross和Joseph E.哈蒙首先简要介绍了科学视觉的发展历史，然后提出了一个关于视觉与文本相互作用的理论。作者以其深刻的洞察力和令人钦佩的严谨性认为，科学意义本身来自于文字和视觉之间复杂的相互作用，这些视觉形式包括图表、图表、地图、图画和照片。作者使用了多种工具来探讨科学图像的本质，从海德格尔的科学哲学到皮尔士的视觉传达符号学。他们对这些元素的综合为读者提供了一个比以往任何时候都更深入、更有意义的科学视觉检查。
John Dalton's molecular structures. Scatter plots and geometric diagrams. Watson and Crick's double helix. The way in which scientists understand the world - and the key concepts that explain it - is undeniably bound up in not only words, but images. Moreover, from PowerPoint presentations to articles in academic journals, scientific communication routinely relies on the relationship between words and pictures. In Science from Sight to Insight, Alan G. Gross and Joseph E. Harmon present a short history of the scientific visual, and then formulate a theory about the interaction between the visual and textual. With great insight and admirable rigor, the authors argue that scientific meaning itself comes from the complex interplay between the verbal and the visual in the form of graphs, diagrams, maps, drawings, and photographs. The authors use a variety of tools to probe the nature of scientific images, from Heidegger's philosophy of science to Peirce's semiotics of visual communication. Their synthesis of these elements offers readers an examination of scientific visuals at a much deeper and more meaningful level than ever before.
