"...this book indeed served the purpose of nudging us to think a
little less development....the discussion of the use of priming and
associated techniques to be thorough and thought
provoking....appreciated the overview of the developement of
various alphabetic writing systems."
—PsycCRITIQUES"Its uniqueness lies in its combination of
historical, linguistic, and experimental psychology research on
both the Hebrew language and writing system. It deals with literacy
broadly, citing cultural as well as cognitive perspectives. It
certainly deserves a place in all libraries as a serious piece of
scholarship on Semitic languages in general and Hebrew in
particular."
