Book Description
Two dozen or so wooden tablets discovered on Easter Island late in the nineteenth century are all that remain of rongorongo--a series of glyphs thought to be the writing system of the island's lost people. In Words Out of Wood, M. de Laat explores the construction and use of these enigmatic figures and makes a compelling case that rongorongo, despite its resistance to decipherment, constitutes nothing less than a fully developed script. Reproduced here in clear, full-page illustrations, the glyphs stand alongside the great moai statues as lasting monuments of the inventiveness and artistry of the remote Pacific island.

Words of Power Quest

ISBN: 1482832887
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
What was the best way to teach others? What could I have done better? How should I proceed with teaching people? My answer was write a story. But it cant be a simple, boring tale that can be finished selfishly without interacting with anyone else. There must be a better way, I thought. And it hit me. Actors in a script take turns to read their lines, and readers can take turns role-playing my characters. Ergo, writing in a script-like format could spawn a new social activity altogether, even if it costs me sales. But that too is alright. I do not write because I need the income. I write with these incapable hands of mine because the stories deserve every opportunity to exist.
