Sarah Ogilvie, Stanford University, California and author of Words of the World: A Global History of the Oxford English Dictionary 'Russell's thorough scholarship and wide research are evidenced by densely packed in-text citations and thirty pages of references … No review of this impressive book could close without kudos to the designer, who has produced a masterpiece-simply the most beautiful cover of an academic book that I have ever come across.'
