Voyant Tools and the Book

I decided (during my lunch) to see what Stefan Sinclair and Geoff Rockwell's Voyant Tools would tell me about my monograph. I guess some kind of self-discovery over a sandwich is OK - especially when it combines two aspects of your own work. Here are some visuals generated by Voyant:

So my book is about the senses and religion. I'm genuinely surprised though at how low the raw count is on the senses themselves - then again, it's about the sensorium as a whole, not each individual sense per se.

Another view is rather interesting I think - word trends that more or less follow what each chapter is about. Knowing how I intended my argument to flow, this graph is comforting - it actually shows that I managed to do what I intended to do!
