ALPHABETICA illustrates the evolution of alphabets and
writing from earliest
times to the letters we use today. In dictionary form, the book
presents an extensive
vocabulary of language terms and root words. More than 135 entries
relate to language,
writing & writing materials, scripts, word play, and little-known
facts about the history
and development of alphabets. Important scripts are presented in
distinctive styles and
colors to reinforce associations and to ease comprehension of the
material.
ALPHABETICA was created as a teaching/learning aid for parents,
educators, and
students of all ages. The vocabulary was selected to stimulate the
imagination and to
expand the student's appreciation of letters as a tool of
communication.
