{"product_id":"writing-systems-second-edition","title":"Writing Systems : Second Edition","description":"The cultures of the world have chosen different ways to make spoken language visible and permanent. The original edition of Writing Systems represented the first time that modern linguistic principles were brought to bear on a study of this. Now this new edition brings the story up to date; it incorporates topics which have emerged since the first edition (such as electronic techniques for encoding the world's scripts), together with new findings about established topics, including the ultimate historical origin of our alphabet. Featuring a series of detailed case studies of scripts of diverse types, and giving due attention to the psychology of reading and learning to read, the book is written so as to be accessible to those with no prior knowledge of any writing systems other than our own.Author: Geoffrey Sampson,author\nContributors: Geoffrey Sampson,author\nBinding: hardcover\nPublication Date: \nRelease Date: \nLanguages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis\nEdition: 2nd Revised edition\nPublished\/Release Date: 30 Jan 2015\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher\/Studio\/Brand: Equinox Publishing Ltd\nAuthor\/Director\/Artist: Geoffrey Sampson\nDimension (cm): 235x159x25 mm\nPackage Dimension (cm): 23x240x163 mm\nItem Weight (g): 590\nPackage Weight (g): 599","brand":"Equinox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67604769734953,"sku":"BK1781791031","price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/5868\/0105\/files\/9781781791035_dbeb2e2c-c53f-4300-b4de-31f86a7cd4d4.jpg?v=1792021909","url":"https:\/\/www.centloop.com\/en-us\/products\/writing-systems-second-edition","provider":"Centloop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
