Wonderful, in depth book about the creation, growth and history of the English language. Great companion to the television programs that can viewed on YouTube.

The companion piece to the nine-part PBS TV series from 1986, a scholarly look at our native tongue, where it came from, how it got here, and where it's going. Although more than twenty years old, it is still a useful educational tool. The book is difficult to find in hardcover. It crystallizes in print many of the concepts presented in the video series.
