The Arabic alphabet has a fascinating history, one that is entwined with the development of culture and society in the Middle East. The authors trace the origins of the Arabic alphabet back to Aramaic, a descendant of Phoenecian, which itself gave rise to the Hebrew and Greek alphabets.
The third title in the series that offers a primer for both general readers and students alike, A Brief Introduction to the Arabic Alphabet is illustrated and contains glossaries, indices, and suggestions for further reading.
John Healey is a professor of Semitic studies at the University of Manchester.

This book (82 handwriting specimens, 71 diagrams), since it puts handwriting analysis on solid psychological, physiological & sociological bases, shows why handwriting analysis - graphology - as a personality assessment tool is gaining more & more credence. Many analysts of many years experience have been highly complimentary of it. Part I is concerned with the rationales & validity of handwriting analysis. Part II examines the nature of cosmos & life. Human life, since it corresponds most closely to the structure of the universe, is the highest product of it. Part III begins a detailed study of handwriting analysis - here called script-psychology to suggest its comprehensiveness - from its foundations of movement, form, arrangement, & lower, middle, & upper zones. These script foundations are then connected to human psychology & nervous systems to give cogent analyses. Part IV pointedly compares script-psychology with several theories of personality. Part V is concerned with script-psychology & counseling/therapy. After a detailed discussion of "psychosis" & "neurosis," some handwriting samples are studied from these two viewpoints. The value of script-psychology in counseling/therapy is implicit throughout, but is treated explicitly in the last chapter. Order from Rex Smith, 24244 SE 43rd Ct., Issaquah, WA 98027.
