Synopsis
An abundantly illustrated, attractively designed introductory reference which incorporates some combination of photos, maps, charts, and boxed features on virtually every page, yet manages an uncluttered look. Ten contributed chapters discuss the language families of each region of the world, including explanations of interesting features of grammar and vocabulary and discussion of the cultural and other aspects of language dissemination, development, and decline. The evolution of writing systems is also addressed. 9x12" Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Review
This is recommended for the shelves of any college-level or public librar y with a strong interest in world languages and cultures: a series of excellent color maps charts the origin and development of languages throughout the world, revealing both the linguistic histories o f particular cultures and the ideas and cultures represented within the language's structure. A fine bl end of maps and color photos adds excitement and leisure interest. -- Midwest Book Review
