In this systematic presentation of the history and evolution of writing, Professor Gelb first considers the place of writing among other forms of communication. He then describes and compares various types of writing, and traces the development from the earliest stages of picture writing to a full alphabet. The future of writing and the relationship of writing to speech, art and religion are discussed, and the book concludes with a full bibliography.
