Green (classics, City U. of New York-Hunter College) updates again her textbook for a college course that is increasingly important as fewer students study the classical languages themselves, and increasingly hard to find as curricula continue to be channeled between external demands and curtailed resources. After explaining fundamentals about Latin and Greek, and the mechanisms by which words from them transmute into English, she surveys words in government and politics and in the social and natural sciences. She also discusses Greek and Roman education, and classical influence in other aspects of modern life. Each chapter ends with exercises, the answers to which are in the teacher's manual along with other resources. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
