Review # 1 was written on 2020-11-30 00:00:00 Alex Vanhecke An overview of the minority languages of the Soviet sphere beyond the expected Russian, Ukranian, Belarusian, et al. Fairly good in its scope but in many places lacking in depth. Any book of this nature should be as detailed as possible because few books with this focus are going to be published: a book like this should provide the scholar with most everything he needs on a specific language except for what would only be located in a volume dedicated to that specific language. This book didn't really do that: some of the languages covered are in detail, but nowadays, in many cases Wikipedia offers just as much data in its entries for these same languages. Part of that is a change in the times and what the Internet now provides, but still: this could have been more detailed.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-04-30 00:00:00 Stephen Spence Excelent history of the evolution of vector method I learned a great deal on the origin of the current Gibbs-Heaviside vector system used in engineering and mathematics. I do wish that more was said on Clifford, but the level of coverage seems to be appropriate for the level of influence Clifford had.
