AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"What an extraordinary odyssey the author of this superb work embarked upon....I have never read as readable and yet as uncompromisingly scholarly an explanation of the scripts used in ancient Egypt....Ostler is just as masterly in his chapters on the other disappeared languages of the world....If the past, so wonderfully presented in this splendid work, is anything to go by, the future of any language is set to be full of surprises."Ostler, Nicholas is the author of 'Empires Of The Word A Language History Of The World', published 2005 under ISBN 9780066210865 and ISBN 0066210860.
