Specificatii
Writing is the defining marker of civilization, without which there
could be no records, no history, no books, no accumulation of
knowledge. But when did this essential part of our lives begin? Why
do we all write differently and how did writing evolve into what we
use today? All of these questions are answered in this Very Short
Introduction. Andrew Robinson tells the fascinating story of the
history of writing, shedding light on its development and examining
the enormous variety of writing and scripts we use today. Starting
with the origins of writing five thousand years ago, with cuneiform
and Egyptian hieroglyphs, Robinson explains how these early forms
developed into hundreds of scripts, including the Roman alphabet
and Chinese characters. He reveals how the modern writing symbols
and abbreviations we take for granted today--including airport
signage and text messaging--resemble ancient ones much more closely
than we might think. The book also includes a chronology of events
from 3300 BC to AD 2000, a list of titles for further reading, and
an index. About the Series Combining authority with wit,
accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an
introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by
experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary
thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key
topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.
