Alphabetica
Author: Roy Pheonix
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1684941628
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
“A book for our times.” (Indian Express) “Majoritarianism gets a fresh, new spin through this thought-provoking book!” (Shobhaa De) “Deserves a read.” (Times of India) “Roy goes where few others would dare to tread.” (Rajdeep Sardesai) “Read it if you love the English language.” (Money Control) “This cerebral work of fiction draws from the little known etymological facts about the English alphabet.” (Outlook) “An ingenious narrative.” (The Statesman) “Built on a strong foundation.” (The Week) “That rare kind of book.” (Sunday Mid-Day) “It has a universal appeal for the family and the world at large.” (Shekhar Kapur) “A must-read for those concerned with the present and future of humankind.” (Business India) ALPHABETICA is an allegorical satire set up in the fantasy world of "Planet Typewriter". This land of "unity-in-diversity" is divided when the twenty-one Consonants discover that they are the original 3500-year-old Phoenician letters. The five Vowels, who came much later, are declared Greek intruders. When the Vowels emerge as the dominant word shareholders in the dictionary, the Consonant Majority retaliates with the "Rise of the Phoenicians" campaign. The Vowels are forced to seek asylum in the land of the Numbers. With the world of words silenced, the Typewriter God abandons the Consonants. Will the Punctuations and Signs tilt the balance to prevent the war of wor(l)ds?

Book Description
In an age of myriad computer fonts and instant communication, your handwriting style is increasingly a very personal creation. In this book, Margaret Shepherd, America's premier calligrapher, shows you that calligraphy is not simply a craft you can learn, but an elegant art form that you can make your own. Calligraphy remains perennially popular, often adorning wedding invitations, diplomas, and commercial signs. Whether it is Roman, Gothic, Celtic, Bookhand, or Italic style, calligraphy conveys class and elegance. Margaret Shepherd makes this ancient art form accessible in a completely hand-lettered technical guide that will: * Provide context for calligraphy as an art, exploring the rich tradition of hand-lettering and mapping the evolution of the most popular styles. * Give detailed technical advice on choosing pens, paper, and inks, setting up your workspace, mastering various pen angles, along with step-by-step illustrations to guide you as you practice. * Explain which alphabets are appropriate for different forms of writing. For example, the Roman alphabet works well for short, unpunctuated passages, while the Italic alphabet is more suited to informal everyday communication. * Encourage you to personalize your lettering by using variant strokes and interpreting how you would like the words to look on the page. * Inspire you with carefully chosen illustrations and examples, which bring letters to life.

A Rebirth for Christianity
Author: Alvin Boyd Kuhn
Publisher: Quest Books
ISBN: 0835631192
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
The search to uncover the hidden origins of Christianity and discover its true message has become a current topic of fascination for many readers. People are eager to know the truths behind the biblical legends and the mysteries that created Christian rites, ceremonies, and codes of behavior. Kuhn argues that the sacred scriptures of Judaism and Christianity do not portray historical truths, but symbolic and mystical metaphors. The spiritual truth encoded in scripture, says Kuhn, is far more important than its literal narrative. Kuhn’s research provides a clear understanding of the allegorical interpretations of the scriptures and their significance to a deeper, more profound Christianity. He traces the historical and philosophical origins of Christian thought to illustrate that Jesus was one of many incarnations of an enduring archetype that has surfaced in many religions. In fact, those who wrote the scriptures may have never even intended the focus to be on Jesus, the man. Moreover, Kuhn investigates the problems (psychological, spiritual, and otherwise) that result from a purely historical interpretation of Jesus. In doing so, Kuhn reclaims the mystical power at the core of Christianity's message, which has to do with the "birth" of the inner Christ and the emergence of divine consciousness in humanity.

A Place for Everything
Author: Judith Flanders
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 1541675061
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
From a New York Times-bestselling historian comes the story of how the alphabet ordered our world. A Place for Everything is the first-ever history of alphabetization, from the Library of Alexandria to Wikipedia. The story of alphabetical order has been shaped by some of history's most compelling characters, such as industrious and enthusiastic early adopter Samuel Pepys and dedicated alphabet champion Denis Diderot. But though even George Washington was a proponent, many others stuck to older forms of classification -- Yale listed its students by their family's social status until 1886. And yet, while the order of the alphabet now rules -- libraries, phone books, reference books, even the order of entry for the teams at the Olympic Games -- it has remained curiously invisible. With abundant inquisitiveness and wry humor, historian Judith Flanders traces the triumph of alphabetical order and offers a compendium of Western knowledge, from A to Z.
