Omtale fra forlaget

Røverspråk er kodespråk. Det samme er tekstmeldinger. Denne boken handler om hemmelige koder. Den er skrevet for unge lesere, men også voksne med kunnskapstørst kan ha glede av den. Så lenge mennesker har hatt behov for å holde noe hemmelig, har det vært laget koder. Kjærestepar har sendt skjulte meldinger til hverandre, militære ledere har brukt koder for å lure fienden. Her kan du lese om både de enkle og de kompliserte kodene, og om de smarte personene som klarte å knekke dem. Boken har tøffe bilder, nyttig kunnskapsstoff, rare fakta og adresser til nettsider.
