Asserting that written language is on the verge of its greatest
change since the advent of the printing press, visual artist Craig
McDaniel and art historian Jean Robertson bring us Spellbound - a
collection of heavily illustrated essays that interrogate
assumptions about language and typography. Rethinking the alphabet,
they argue, means rethinking human communication. Looking beyond
traditional typography, the authors conceive of new languages in
which encoded pictorial images offer an unparalleled fusion of art
and language. In a world of constant technological innovation
offered by e-books, tablets, cell phones and the Internet, McDaniel
and Robertson demonstrate provocatively what it would mean to move
beyond the alphabet we know to a wholly new system of written
communication.
Ella is woman who has known more than her share of heartaches,
rejections and disappointments. Growing up as the
great-granddaughter of sharecroppers in Mississippi, she was used
to moving. But abandonment and eviction by family members-that was
something else. For many years, she searched for a place to finally
put down roots-"where nobody could put me out." This is an account
of that journey.Jean Robertson is an aspiring writer who has
written over twenty articles for The Gospel Journal, a local Bay
Area Christian newspaper. She is also the writer and editor of her
church newsletter, NRS Views and News. Currently serving as the
Ministry leader for Women of Purpose, the women's ministry at her
church, she resides in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with her husband.
