Abstract
In her article, Barbara Noworolska reviews a book entitled ‘The First Signs. Unlocking the Mysteries of the World’s Oldest Symbols’ written by Genevieve Von Petzinger. Here, the researcher convinces that this publication drew her attention primarily because of a great volume of optimism it carries. The author aims to convince that there are still white pages in science that can be filled with content. She as well claims that you can realise your passions and at the same time have a happy family life. According to Noworolska, the book as well brings a good impression of the scientific world of the United States, which supported such an original and costly scientific idea and allowed young people, yet not possessing scientific output, to execute it. The book was supposed to be a scientific essay, but the temperament of the young researcher turned it into a mosaic of a diary, a reportage, an adventure story and a scientific treaty. Thanks to this, from the first to the last page, the text is interesting and easy to read.
