Alpha Beta
The idea behind the alphabet - that language with all its wealth of meaning can be recorded with a few meaningless signs - is an extraordinary one. It has occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago. This title follows the emergence of the western alphabet as it evolved into its present form, contributing vital elements to our sense of identity.
