I See a Voice

Ree, Jonathan

1st edition hardback, 399 pages, c.40 b&w illustrations. A very good clean copy, bright and tight internally, dj very good, no marks or inscriptions. An intellectual journey taking in colour music and voice machines, shorthand and phonetics, Egyptian hieroglyphs, dance notations, the origin of language, the division of the rainbow and the development of the musical scale............. Above all it tells the story of those who have literally had no voice: the so-called deaf and dumb whose inability to speak has usually been treated by the hearing world as proof that they are unreasonable and probably less than human.
