However, a critical engagement with script and print outside the western world has remained relatively limited to summaries and generalisations, despite a burgeoning interest in the interrelated areas of printing, publishing, design, and type histories. The time is long overdue for these narratives relating to the material production of text to expand, and address the rich variation and particularity of global practices. Covering a variety of scripts and linguistic contexts, this volume explores the plurality of historical and contemporary engagements with, and interpretations of the printed and written word in various artefacts, printing technologies, and writing systems. Part of the \u003ci\u003ePrinting History and Culture\u003c\/i\u003e series by the Centre for Printing History and Culture, this book presents critical perspectives and fresh approaches toward the study of the visual and material aspects of print in diverse linguistic environments - whether handwritten, lithographed, typographically printed, or digitally manifested.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSahar Afshar\u003c\/strong\u003e is an independent type designer and researcher who divides her time between her practice, consultation, teaching and research, particularly in relation to the Arabic script and the various regions and cultures that use this writing system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWei Jin Darryl Lim\u003c\/strong\u003e is an independent book and print historian.
