Signs in the Dust

A Theory of Natural Culture and Cultural Nature

Argues that the meaningful exchange of signs is not unique to humans and is present through all of nature
Counters the common understanding of nature and culture as completely separate
Draws from medieval philosophy, semiotics, biology, and modern evolutionary theory
