- Summary
- "Everywhere we look we are surrounded by symbols. Across the globe, symbols are used to express meaning, represent identity, declare power and authority, convey clear instructions, and represent ideas and concepts that cannot easily be put into words. In Symbols and Their Hidden Meanings, T.A. Kenner explores both universally-recognized symbols, such as road signs, political party logos, Yin-Yang, the Grim Reaper, and the Star of David, and the more obscure, such as symbols in art, architecture, and religion. This wide-ranging study of symbolism, from ancient times to the present, will open your eyes to the many symbols-hidden and overt-that inform and instruct us in our everyday lives.
