Inhaltsangabe
Writing surrounds us in the modern world - but how did it develop into the systems we use today, and given the technological developments of the twenty-first century, what does its future hold? This beautifully illustrated book, published to coincide with an interactive landmark British Library exhibition, celebrates the act of writing from across the globe. Exploring the history of writing and including more than 150 illustrations from carved stone inscriptions and medieval manuscripts to samples of early printing, modern handwriting and digital inputting systems, it reflects on the use of writing over the last 5,000 years and challenges our preconceptions about writing's decline in the digital age.

Paperback. Zustand: New. The development of pictograms into the first writing systems in the ancient world, the invention of moveable type in the 1450s, and modern electronic tablets, are all part of the story of written communication explored in this volume. Originally published to accompany a British Library exhibition, the well-researched essays are complemented by illustrations of some of the institution's most precious items.
