"A masterly synopsis of the spread of English across the world … English as a Global Language arrives as an elegant successor to Robert McCrum’s The Story of English, published in 1986. It is at the same time cool and immensely authoritative. Less than half the size, but with scarcely less text than its richly illustrated Rolls-Royce predecessor, it sets a new standard in the popularisation of linguistics." Sir John Hanson (Director-General of The British Council), Times Higher Education Supplement
