The Greek & Latin Roots of English

by Tamara M. Green

The fourth edition of The Greek and Latin Roots of English approaches the study of Latin and Greek thematically: vocabulary is organized into various topics, including politics and government, psychology, medicine and the biological sciences, literature, ancient culture, and religion and philosophy. Each chapter of the text concludes with expanded notes, vocabulary, and exercises to help students learn the pleasures (and pitfalls) of language study.

Read for my English Word Origins class.

[Elle D. Lemesurier · Rating 1 out of 5]

I just finished reading all this for an English Words Origins class. The charts of Latin and Greek words sometimes seem to come out the blue and not reference anytning the textbook was talking about. That being said, this book has to be more than 70% lists of words and meanings, which I guess would be helpful if you were taking a vocab class.
It just seemed disorganized overall. Only good for the very very basics of Latin & Greek.
