Publisher Description:
Why did people first develop a way to write? How did they write? What did they write about? This series answers these questions and many others. Photographs of artifacts and ancient writings as well as period illustrations will make readers feel as if they are taking a step back in time. This series enables students to discover the great impact the invention of writing had on civilizations around the world. Closely tied to the social studies curriculum, it examines how written language developed in six separate cultures and how it spread to influence other cultures, changing life forever.
