Without writing, there would be no records, no history, no books, and no emails. Why do we all write differently and how did writing develop into what we use today? Writing is an integral and essential part of our lives; but when did it start?
Starting with the origins of writing five thousand years ago, with cuneiform and Egyptian hieroglyphs, Andrew Robinson explains how these early forms of writing developed into hundreds of scripts including the Roman alphabet and the Chinese characters. All of these questions are answered in this Very Short Introduction. 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.
