Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Writing is traditionally discussed as a product of individual intellectual achievement. The refreshing approach of this book gives the reader an insight into the place of writing as an essential part of the political infrastructure of a society. As ancient writings continue to be discovered and deciphered, it is becoming clear that long-held theories of writing development have rested more on speculation than on actual proof. However, no history of writing has adequately answered these questions nor brought to the subject the breadth of scope that this book achieves.
