As a graduate student studying work very similar to lingiustics, I did enjoy the content of the book! I found a lot of the information interesting, although some of the examples and language (no pun intended???) within the book were a little outdated and problematic. I liked that there were applied examples at the end of each paragraph that helped you get a sense of what the chapter meant in a real world and relatable context. Again, this book was written in 2010, so a lot has changed since then. I am excited to read more of the Little Histories series, especially "A Little History of Science."
