Historical Linguistics: Toward a Twenty-First Century Reintegration (Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics)
"...The authors present the successes of traditional historical linguistics together  with the developments brought about by general linguistics.... The book is clearly written and well organized, and there is a wealth of data-not all of it well known to linguists-that should excite the curiosity of even a casual academic reader.... Recommended..."--L. Lopez, University of Illinois at Chicago, CHOICE
