This review is from: Encyclopedia of Bilingualism and Bilingual Education (Hardcover)
If you're looking for a single, comprehensive source on bilingualism, this should be your choice. The authors are noted authorities. Dr. Baker has written numerous books on the topic. The volume is well organized, packed with data, including information on the major scholars in the field. As its title suggests, this work is encyclopedia--not a textbook.
