No Customer Reviews
Where did sounds, words and languages come from? What happens when a language disappears? What happens when a way of writing becomes extinct? In this third volume of the Time Maps series, Dr. R.K. Fisher and Martini Fisher answer all of these questions and more as they trace languages and scripts back to their earliest forms before re-discovering their evolution, combinations and extinctions. They analyse a wide range of languages to show where migrations and invasions have taken place and discover where particular features of culture and technology came from. Chapters include: -Evolution of Languages, which includes the origins of languages, threats of extinction, classification of languages and major language families, among others. -Evolution of Writing Systems, which includes sounds and symbols, classification of writing systems, the origins and writings and the lost knowledge. Written with a Mathematician's precision and a Historian's curiosity, Time Maps covers over millennia worth of developments & impacts of civilizations, migrations, leaders and continents. Illuminating concepts of societies, dynasties, heroes, kings and eras through incisive and thorough research, looking at ideas, theories & world views with a sense of wonder and delight.
