In the study of linguistics, it is a commonly known fact that many languages spoken in the world today share very similar core principles and fundamentals. In the book The Greek and Latin Roots of English, by author Tamara M. Green, the reader will begin to learn that more than 60 percent of all words in the English language can trace their roots back to ancient Greek or Latin. When looking strictly at the words used in technology and science, that number climbs to well over 90 percent. It is a fascinating concept, and one which the authors explore to the fullest extent. Now in its fifth edition, The Greek and Latin Roots of English was released on July 17, 2014, and published by Rowman and Littlefield Publishers.
