520    The traditional concept of scientific knowledge places a 
       premium on thinking, not visualizing. Scientific 
       illustrations are still generally regarded as devices that
       serve as heuristic aids when reasoning breaks down. When 
       scientific illustration is not used in this disparaging 
       sense as a linguistic aid, it is most often employed as a 
       metaphor with no special visual content. What 
       distinguishes pictorial devices as resources for doing 
       science, and the special problems that are raised by the 
       mere presence of visual elements in scientific treatises, 
       tends to be overlooked. The contributors to this volume 
       examine the historical and philosophical issues concerning
       the role that scientific illustration plays in the 
       creation of scientific knowledge. They regard both text 
       and picture as resources that scientists employ in their 
       practical activities, their value as scientific resources 
       deriving from their ability to convey information.
