All rights reserved. Published 1952. Second Edition 1963. First Phoenix Impression 1963. Printed in the United States of America oi.uchicago.edu PREFACE HE book contains twelve chapters, but it can be broken up structurally into five parts. First, the place of writing among the various systems of human inter­ communication is discussed. This is followed by four Tchapters devoted to the descriptive and comparative treatment of the various types of writing in the world. The sixth chapter deals with the evolution of writing from the earliest stages of picture writing to a full alphabet. The next four chapters deal with general problems, such as the future of writing and the relationship of writing to speech, art, and religion. Of the two final chapters, one contains the first attempt to establish a full terminology of writing, the other an extensive bibliography. The aim of this study is to lay a foundation for a new science of writing which might be called grammatology. While the general histories of writing treat individual writings mainly from a descriptive-historical point of view, the new science attempts to establish general principles governing the use and evolution of writing on a comparative-typological basis.

  • Improving Data Collection and Management Process of Weather Observation
    Sami Kiesiläinen Improving Data Collection and Management Process of Weather Observation Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Master’s Degree in Industrial Management Master’s Thesis 27 May 2011 Instructors: Marja Blomqvist, Lic. SC (Tech) Marjatta Huhta, Dsc (Tech) Preface Writing this Thesis has clarified several process-related issues which existence has been somehow known in my work, but it has been difficult to explain them. One of the most important clarifications has been that, although the development projects are often marketed as technological competence, it is not the most important aspect of the task. It is very easy and simple to install few automatic weather stations, but they alone are not enough to achieve the desired benefits. The main aspect is to understand the whole process of data collection and management, and help target institutes to rebuild their own processes. I would like to thank all the interviewees and colleagues who have helped me to improve my understanding of the process. My sincere thanks also go to my supervisors Mrs. Marja Blomqvist and Mrs. Marjatta Huhta, as well as to other teachers and supervisors in Metropolia for their lectures and support in writing this Thesis. I would also like to add my special thanks to Mrs. Zinaida Merezhinskaya for her active role in proofreading the Thesis.
