Hardcover. Zustand: Good. First Edition. Charles Bliss [1897-1985] was a chemical engineer until WWII forced him and his wife to flee Europe. In 1946 they landed in Australia where he directed his full effort to developing what would come to be known as semantography, an easy-to-learn ideographic writing system which would enable people of different languages to communicate. - Wikipedia. Upon its publication in 1949, Bliss wrote to 6,000 educators around the world, seeking to encourage interest in his work, but very little was expressed, although he did hear back from a few, including Bertrand Russell and Julian Huxley. They gave him the courage to carry on. - film "Mr. Symbol Man" xxii, 1-37, XXVIII, 38-90; [28], 91-414; [10], 415-670 pp. Index. Occasional paperclip marks.
