Language Alphamaniacs: Builders of 26 Wonders of the Word

This collection presents twenty-six entries about women and men who have invented, rediscovered, or experimented with language. Each entry focuses on a different way people have shaped words and communication, showing language as something made, recovered, and playfully explored. Colorful collage artwork accompanies the text throughout. Back matter extends the book’s look at the people and ideas behind these twenty-six language-centered pieces.
