Provides background information on the Shang civilization, the scapulimancy culture, and a comparison of the four pristine writing systems (Sumerian, Egyptian, Chinese, and Mayan)
Includes detailed annotations that not only discuss the significance of the text but also illuminate the logographic nature of the Chinese writing system, which has survived to the present day
