It contains nearly 1,000 alphabetically ordered entries contributed by respected scholars ... Recommended for students and specialists interested in this topic as well as college and university libraries supporting historical or linguistic study.' CHOICE 'The book is a delight to read and use.' Indo-European Studies Bulletin This is a remarkable book. It collects short essays on everything Indo-European. Most impressive is how well it is indexed -- by topic, by cited words, by category. For each root, the equivalent is given in other compendiums, such as Pokorny. A wide selection of reflexes are given for each root. I get the impression that Mallory and Adams talked to every scholar in Indo-European studies, asked what they wanted included, and included all of that. It is one of my favorite books; I read the whole thing straight through when I bought it, and still used it frequently. I wish it were still in print, but if you are interested in the topic, find it somewhere. You won't regret it.
