Recenzii
In this scholarly yet very readable study, Harrison writes powerfully of the value and beauty of these vanishing knowledge systems.
K. David Harrison makes an excellent case for studying our disappearing languages. Intrepid and dedicated, he is committed to salvaging what he can before it is too late.
