New Aphorisms & Reflections: Third Series, the sixth volume in a sequence which began with 222: Aphorisms & Reflections, features more than 450 entries, some of which are autobiographical. Like its predecessors, New Aphorisms & Reflections includes a sampling of 'meetings of the minds'-dialogues between the author and aphorists and thinkers of the past.

In an era when many scholars and critics can't seem to see the forest of literature for the trees of theory, objective readings of texts are few and far between. Devotions to the Text constitutes a bold act of rebellion against those who would transform texts into mirrors that reflect only their own ideas and/or ideologies.

A dozen essays by Carter (California State U.-Bakersfield), a crusader for bridging literature and science, explore the common epistemologies of the two realms. They consider field, quanta, chaos, complementarity, and Hemingway's short story The Killers. Earlier versions of some have appeared in journals. There is no index.
