The Oriental Institute Museum at the University of Chicago has a new special exhibit on the invention(s) of writing. The reason I mention this is because I contributed an article (on the beginnings of alphabetic writing) to the museum catalogue, which is available for free download (click on the image below to follow the link):
Apparently the exhibit has been getting a decent amount of publicity. Check out this review in the New York Times (click here).
Also, if anyone is planning on being in Chicago between now and March 6, you should definitely check out the exhibit!
