Review: Excellent Introduction/Overview of Linguistics - I'm new to linguistics, so far it's a fun hobby. I found this book very clear in its explanations and introduced all the various areas in linguistics. I found the part on languages moving from speaking to being written particularly intriguing. It brought me down a new path to further study: how writing systems evolved along with languages.
Review: Perfect introduction to Linguistics! - I find the Dummies books to be hit or miss. With this one, it is definitely a hit! What a wonderful introduction to the world of lingusitics. Thorough but easy to read. Incredibly informative. Well organized. For me, it's a quick reference book for concepts that I don't use as often, but if I were to teach an introductory course, I would use this book rather than the $100+ textbook options out there.
