How writing works: reading the Rosetta Stone; sound, symbol and script; proto-writing. Extinct writing: cuneiform; Egyptian hieroglyphs; linear B; Mayan glyphs; undeciphered scripts. Living writing: the first alphabet; new alphabets from old; Chinese writing; Japanese writing; from hieroglyphs to alphabets - and back?
