A Fantastic Resource

This is by far the most comprehensive and informative reference book to date on bilingualism and bilingual education. As an encyclopeia (not a text book) it is an important resource for interested scholars, students, journalists, and others.The Editors are top scholars and leaders in the field.

Comprehensive and Authoritative.

If you're looking for a single, comprehensive source on bilingualism, this should be your choice. The authors are noted authorities. Dr. Baker has written numerous books on the topic. The volume is well organized, packed with data, including information on the major scholars in the field. As its title suggests, this work is encyclopedia--not a textbook.
