#31,5; chapter "Nosology and semiotics" revised and resubmitted

Today I have had an article writing day devoted to planning for the time ahead and finishing revising my book chapter "Nosology and semiotics". I added some 50 words to the text in the process of completing reference reformatting. This was writing day no. 31,5 this Spring. 

I had 7,5 writing days in April, and wrote some 3.200 words.

Not received printed book from publisher Springer Nature

Almost 3 months after the publication of our book Semiotic agency - science beyond mechanism, and several inquiries, I still haven't received my printed copy of the book from the publisher, Springer Nature. I am now trying to order it via my employer. Needless to say, I think this is poor author service from Springer´s side.

Cited extensively in Moser 2022

My research is referred to on 10 different pages in Keith Mosers new book Contemporary French Environmental Thought in the Post-COVID-19 Era

The first mention, on p. 5, goes like this:

Due to the omnipresence of human semiosis that interferes with the ability of other organisms to communicate effectively, “countless beings do not, any longer, master the semiotic niche conditions which according to Hoffmeyer are vital to the success of an organism” (Tønnessen, 2009, p. 54).
