With Paturi's guidance we learn about the relationship of art to science and about the breadth of our ancestors' imaginations. The author points out the ingenious methods of communication devised long ago; we learned that the western alphabets starts universally with the same two letters: the first symbol of the deity, the second a symbol of the home...." -- from the front fold over panel.
