100 Symbols that Changed the World

Colin Salter

Description

Universal symbols have been used as a form of communication from the Bronze Age, when the dynasties of ancient Egypt began the evolution of the thousand characters used in Egyptian hieroglyphics. In pre-Columbian America the Mayan civilization set out on a similar course, using pictures as a narrative text.

Organized chronologically, 100 Symbols that Changed the World looks at the genesis and adoption of the world's most recognizable symbols.
