Historically informed and aimed at developing an interest in the origins of English words probably in younger scholars, this book is engaging for adults as well. I found it consistently interesting as an introduction to the various sources of the English language and the extent of the contributions of each. Recommended for thinking youngsters and those who guide them.

Words have always facinated me. After reading this book and following the exercises as was suggested in the book have created for me, a much deeper yearning to further enter into Greek & Latin. Living in the Caribbean is already quite interesting because of the many different languages and dialects. I myself speak more than one language but to really take the time and make comparisons to words and understanding the stems, roots really gets me going. It's a fabulous way to get any true lover of words, history and understanding of who and what we are all about absolutely going. Great way to get started.

it's a very good review of history of our greek and latin roots as well as explaining greek and latin roots

This book is of no educational value whatsoever. A waste of money. I myself in the future will go to Barnes and Noble to physically scan a book I'm interested in before purchasing. You made me give this book 1 star because you only offered 1 through 5 stars. I would have given it a minus -Star rating.
