This book would make a good introduction for someone who wants to know how English came to be English and what the many varieties of English actually are, as well as something about their relation to one another. However the book was published over twenty years ago and so would be less reliable in a discussion of the state of English today and the future of English. I'm glad I finally read it. hailelib | Jun 28, 2009 | A companion book for the PBS video series by the same name. If you watched the videos, you won't find much new information that was not covered. Layout is obviously in a popular style, including many pictures and sidebar data. As much as I enjoy books, I'd rather watch the videos and save my reading time for something else. mebrock | Jan 25, 2009 | English language/History Budz888 | Jun 1, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
