Alpha Beta

John Man
ISBN: 0747264473 Publisher: Headline 3/5/2001
£6.99 RRP Paperback
An alphabet is a system for organising and recording thought and the
very earliest letters, which demonstrate this ('a' was the first sound
of the Semitic word for 'ox', 'b' for 'house'), are still with us,
virtually unchanged across the millennia. And while the western world
today is divided by languages, it remains largely united by alphabet.
Where these letters came from and how they have evolved over the years
is more than just an academic exercise. John Man's ALPHA BETA tells a
thrilling story of adventure, passion and intrigue.
