Book excerpt: Together we will make nine original blocks, using my favourite piecing techniques, to create a quilt that explores the imagery of autumn: the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter; turning leaves and misty mornings; festivals of fire and fairytales at bedtime...Autumn, the burnished sunset of the year, washes the garden with shades of copper and gold. Nights draw in, mist rises, the winter approaches. Larders are stocked for the dark months ahead and favourite books taken down to read by the fireside. At home in Shropshire we celebrate with a Bonfire Party and, as we head back to the house with our friends, I imagine all the nocturnal residents of our garden gathered around the embers of the fire...

Book excerpt: Welcome to the illogical, idiosyncratic, outrageous linguistic phenomenon known as the English language. The story of how this ragtag collection of words evolved is a winding tale replete with intriguing accidents and bizarre twists of fate. In this eye-opening, fabulously entertaining book, James Essinger unlocks the mysteries that have confounded linguists and scholars for millennia. From the sophisticated writing systems of the ancient Sumerians through the tongue twisters of Middle English, the popular National Spelling Bee, and the mobile phone text-messaging of today, Spellbound chronicles the fascinating history of English spelling, including insights about the vast number of words English has borrowed from other languages (“orange,” “vanilla,” and “ketchup,” to name a few), and how their meanings differ from country to country. Featuring a lively cast of characters ranging from the fictional to the historically noteworthy (Chaucer, Samuel Johnson, Noah Webster, Shakespeare, Bill Gates), this affectionate tribute to English spelling shows why our whimsical, capricious common language continues to hold us spellbound.

Book Synopsis Spellbound by : Craig McDaniel

Download or read book Spellbound written by Craig McDaniel. This book was released on 2016-07-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asserting that written language is on the verge of its greatest change since the advent of the printing press, visual artist Craig McDaniel and art historian Jean Robertson bring us Spellbound – a collection of heavily illustrated essays that interrogate assumptions about language and typography. Rethinking the alphabet, they argue, means rethinking human communication. Looking beyond traditional typography, the authors conceive of new languages in which encoded pictorial images offer an unparalleled fusion of art and language. In a world of constant technological innovation offered by e-books, tablets, cell phones and the Internet, McDaniel and Robertson demonstrate provocatively what it would mean to move beyond the alphabet we know to a wholly new system of written communication.
