Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The earliest civilizations developed writing systems in order to keep records. Since then, writing has evolved to become a complex form of communication. In fact, reading and writing today are often hi-tech endeavors. Inventions in Reading and Writing: From Calligraphy to Kindles discusses (in chronological order) the invention of calligraphy, paper, moveable type, and Kindle e-Readers. The book demonstrates the effect these innovations have had on readers, writers, and the world at large. The book also draws connections between the inventions themselves. These connections are often surprising, such as the link between moveable type, e-books, and our modern idea of individual nations with unique identities.
