Description:
In an absorbing text, Andrew Robinson explains the interconnection between sound, symbol and script. He discusses each of the major writing systems in turn, from cuneiform and Egyptian and Mayan hieroglyphs to the scripts of China and Japan, as well as others such as the Cherokee 'alphabet' and the writing of runes. Full coverage is given to the history of decipherment, and a provocative chapter devoted to undeciphered scripts: can these codes ever be broken?
In this new edition of the book, the author reveals the latest discoveries to have an impact on the history of writing, including the Tabula Cortonensis showing Etruscan symbols, and a seal from Turkmenistan that could solve the mystery of how Chinese writing evolved. He also discusses how the digital revolution has not, despite predictions, spelled doom for the printed book. In addition, the table of Maya glyphs has been updated.

Healed cracked feet!
Color: Gray
These moisturizing heel socks are great for dry, cracked heels. They’re soft, comfortable, and easy to wear around the house or overnight. I like that the silicone/gel part helps lock in moisture, especially when paired with foot cream or lotion.
They fit well without feeling too tight, and having 4 pairs is really convenient. After using them consistently, my heels felt softer and smoother. Great little self-care item, especially if you’re on your feet a lot or struggle with dry skin.

Great stretch.
Color: Gray
My husband has diabetes and these work great on his heels.
I was worried they would be too small, he wears a size 12 shoe and they fit great!

Great
Color: Gray
I purchased these after having a total knee replacement. My heels were getting sore from the exercises. These little socks with the gel has helped tremendously. I am now sleeping in them. and the soreness is going away.
