Book Review

This book has become a publishing phenomenon. It is thoroughly researched, impeccably presented, and well-organised. The content of every page is illustrated in full colour with appropriate photographs, tables, charts, maps, graphs, and diagrams, making the book easy to read. It covers the history of English, vocabulary, and grammar, to spoken and written English, and English in use. It will appeal to anyone with an interest in language, words, linguistics, and related areas. The plentiful visual aids combine with anecdotes, quotations, and well written text to produce a highly accessible and truly stimulating textbook. (Softcover edition.)
