First 28% of this text is a comprehensive bibliography, a few with links to sites to buy books. Remainder is a non comprehensive survey of languages, dictionary with scattered pictures than thesaurus. Language not always specified. For the price I expected an actual comparison between similar words instead of a word jumble. Like most dictionaries of the sort there is not a good flow to the system, so it makes finding anything difficult unless you know the exact word you are looking for. Interesting idea, not well implemented. Google That Arabic words derive from Akkadian ones is not correct. Akkadian and Arabic being autonomous parts of the larger Afro Asiatic language family, similar words or roots may be cognate with a connection at the level of an older, common linguistic ancestor. Otherwise the book offers interesting insight on the similarities among many different ancient, and modern, Semitic languages. Google To anyone who has studied some of these languages, like myself, it is easily apparent that 1) he doesn't know much about his subject 2) he is pandering to the Ancient Aliens crowd. He is a fraud. Google
