The golden thread : the story of writing / by Clayton, Ewan,author.(CARDINAL)390315;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 374-391) and index.Roman foundations -- The convenience of the Codex -- Speaking through the senses -- The New World: script and print -- Turning the page: reformation and renewal -- Handwriting returns -- Putting the world of the written word in order -- The coming of industry -- The Industrial Age -- Revolutions- in art and print -- Alternative dreams -- The material artefact.From the simple representative shapes used to record transactions of goods and animals in ancient Egypt, to the sophisticated typographical resources available to the twenty-first-century computer user, the story of writing is the story of human civilization itself.
