Reviews
Tamara M. Green deserves our hearty thanks for providing students the opportunity to improve their comprehension and precision in English at the same time as they experience English words as windows onto Classical antiquity.

The strength of Tamara M. Green’s The Greek and Latin Roots of English has always been its sensitivity to the needs of contemporary students, and this new sixth edition is no exception. It has been further streamlined and also brought up to date to meet the needs of the typical 21st century undergraduate classroom. The useful and appropriate exercises and additional support material available to instructors make this textbook an invaluable resource to instructors and students alike.
