The Benjamin Lee Whorf Legacy Peter C. Rollins, Editor. Ridgemont Media Productions: Cleveland, OK, 2008.
The Benjamin Lee Whorf Legacy adds a new dimension to our understanding of the businessman/linguist associated with "the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis." This electronic archive supplies primary and secondary materials to amplify Whorf's arguments about how languages shape perceptions; it also throws light on the 1920s controversy between science and religion. The collection is edited by Peter C. Rollins, whose first conference paper on Whorf was delivered at an early meeting of the Popular Culture Association and later published in a special issue of JPC devoted to The Occult (Ed. Robert Galbreath). Later, the association endorsed a book-length study of Whorf (included on this CD-ROM).
