Symbols and Their Meanings

Why does a flag at half-mast express mourning? Why does the snake symbolize wisdom? Since the dawn of human history, signs and symbols have been integral to our culture and communication—whether in everyday life, sports, politics, or religion, on our clothing or even on our skin. This book showcases the secret language of over 2,000 symbols from various eras and fields through impressive illustrations, telling their fascinating stories and meanings.

The World of Signs and Symbols in One Book

  • Over 2,000 signs and symbols: The meanings, histories, and uses in art, religion, or mythology are explained in detail and visually—from hieroglyphs to graffiti.
  • Engaging thematic pages provide a quick overview of the connections between motifs and explain their changing meanings and different interpretations across cultures.
  • Portraits of the most significant symbols: Detailed special pages take a closer look at particularly important motifs.

From dragons to fertility symbols to zodiac signs—a visually stunning journey into the fascinating world of symbolism!.
