Everything has its place. An extraordinary history of alphabetical order
14.99 €
This book by historian Judith Flanders explores how the alphabet has organized the world around us: combining academic research and engaging fiction, it tells the story of the ways in which our understanding of reality is organized through various symbolic systems linked in one way or another to the alphabet. The reader is taken on a real journey from the origins of human civilization to the twenty-first century to discover how people like Samuel Pips or Denis Diderot developed the ability to capture information and organize knowledge through the order in which the letters of the human script are arranged.
