符号学是关于标识、符号的理论。符号之间，存在着不可思议的差异性：从指明目的地的简单路标符号，到警示人们预防火灾的烟雾符号，再到暗含在艺术与文学中、有文学背景和象征意义的符号。阅读符号是我们日常生活非常重要的组成部分，然而符号学却常常被看作是一门神秘的科学。这本导论性质的书籍，采用了具体可见的实例而不是抽象的理论，为我们揭开符号学的神秘面纱。 本书一共罗列了75项符号学中关键性的概念，书中的每一部分都以一幅图像或符号开始，并配以一个问题，来带动我们表达出我们所看见的东西。翻过书页，我们便可以将自己的诠释与该符号背后所蕴含的理论进行比对。通过这样的方式，我们能够积极地调动自己创造性的思维。 不论是一口气将整本书读完，还是平时信手翻阅，你都可以从这本书中读到很多实用的例子，它们解释了在当下的文化中，意义是如何被制造呈现的。
