Sinopsis

Origins of Writing explores the fascinating journey of written communication, from its early roots to the widespread use of alphabets. It delves into how humans transitioned from spoken language to lasting inscriptions, forever changing knowledge preservation and transmission. The book highlights that socio-economic needs drove the initial development of writing. For example, the earliest forms of cuneiform in Mesopotamia emerged to manage complex administrative tasks. This book uniquely emphasizes the human element, exploring how writing shaped societies, not just the technical aspects.

 
The book begins by examining pre-writing methods of communication. It then explores the emergence of cuneiform in Mesopotamia, followed by Egyptian hieroglyphics and their cultural significance. The evolution of the Phoenician alphabet and its impact on the Greeks and Romans is also analyzed. Finally, the book discusses the long-term consequences of writing on law, literature, and science, illustrating how writing democratized knowledge and reshaped civilization.

    The importance of Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus (or as he was known from birth, Gaius Octavius “Octavian” Thurinus) to the course of Western history is hard to overstate. His life, his rise to power, his political, and his social and military achievements all laid the foundations for the creation of an empire which would endure for almost five centuries, and whose traditions, laws, architecture and art continue to influence much of Europe and the world today. Octavian was the first true Roman Emperor, and the first man since the Etruscan Tarquins five centuries earlier to establish a successful hereditary ruling dynasty in what had been a proud Republic for over half a millennium. He was a canny strategist, an excellent orator, a fine writer, a generous patron of the arts and enthusiastic promoter of public works, but above all he was a master politician. Octavian’s great-uncle (and adoptive father) Julius Caesar was a great general, and his rival Mark Antony was a great soldier, but as a politician Octavian outmatched them all. He still stands in bronze on Rome’s Via dei Fori Imperiali to this day, along with the likes of Caesar, Hadrian, Trajan and Marcus Aurelius, and he is forever immortalized in all Western calendars as the patron of the month of August, which was dedicated to him when he was deified, following his death, as Divus Augustus.  
    	“The Five Good Emperors,” a reference to the five emperors who ruled the Roman Empire between 96 and 180 CE (Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius), was a term first coined by Machiavelli and later adopted and popularized by historian Edward Gibbon, who said that under these men, the Roman Empire “was governed by absolute power under the guidance of wisdom and virtue.” This period of 84 years is generally regarded as the high point of the Roman Empire, at least after Augustus.

    Dave Ferman is a former high school English and science teacher, and a communications executive in the world's largest defense corporation. In 1956, he completed a tour as a U.S. Marine Grunt, a drill instructor, a military policeman, and a pilot. He also served in Sixth Fleet Air Intelligence with a clandestine atom bomber squadron in the Mediterranean Theatre, and on the West Bank and volatile "Green Line" between Israel and the Kingdom of Jordan. Along the way, he earned a succession of hard-to-get, easy-to-lose top U.S. security clearances that make him among the most highly vetted rookie authors in literature today. Uncle Sam trusts Dave Ferman. 
     While growing up in urban Kansas during the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, World War II and the birth of Rock 'n' Roll, Dave had several unrelated but pleasant paranormal experiences. Curious and wishing for encores at age five, in denial at age 10, and comfortably nonjudgemental until age 44 when his deceased father visited Dave one evening during a period of extreme financial stress to assure him: “Don’t worry, son. Everything is going to be alright.“ and very soon it was. After that, Dave became a converted believer in some form of life after death. What other choices did he have? 
    Dave’s message is twofold: “Don’t despair, if all goes well, you and your departed loved ones will be reunited in the hereafter,“ and “I am no longer afraid to die; and you should not be, either.“
