Description
In Alpha Beta: How Our Alphabet Changed the Western World, John Man tells the fascinating story of how a simple set of letters shaped civilisation. From its ancient roots in the Middle East to its spread through Greece and Rome, the alphabet transformed communication, record-keeping, religion, trade, and learning across the Western world.
Blending history, language, and culture, Man shows how this revolutionary writing system helped build empires, preserve knowledge, and influence the way we think today. Engaging and accessible, this book is perfect for readers interested in history, linguistics, and the surprising power of everyday letters.
