| Description: |
A fascinating study not only of the roots and growth of our own language but of its future. Bloomsbury Review" |
| Synopsis: |
It seems impossible: a small island in the North Atlantic, colonized by Rome, then pillaged for hundreds of years by marauding neighbors, becomes the dominant world power in the nineteenth century.

In the twenty-first century, writes the author, English + Microsoft = Globish." |
