Title: The Letter And The Cosmos: How The Alphabet Has Shaped The Western View Of The World
Description: University of Toronto Press 2016 Softcover, 285pp. A sharp and entertaining examination of how languages, letterforms, orthography, and writing tools have reflected our hidden obsession with the alphabet, The Letter and the Cosmos is illustrated with copious examples of the visual and linguistic phenomena which de Looze describes. Read it, and you'll never look at the alphabet the same way again. Annotated. A very small amount of high-lighting in chapter 4. (ISBN: 9781442628533). Good.
