Thinking in Circles: An Essay on Ring Composition - The Terry Lectures

Found in the Bible and in writings from as far afield as Egypt, China, Indonesia, Greece, and Russia, ring composition is too widespread to have come from a single source. Does it perhaps derive from the way the brain works? This title examines ring composition, its principles and functions, in a cross-cultural way.
