It's one of the more famous books on active langs among other things. It's called "Language (or Linguistic?) Diversity in Space and Time". Apparently she was very inspired by Klimov. I couldn't give you an ISBN or similar, because I don't have it at home. But it shouldn't be too much of a chore to find it at your nearest book store or library. I myself haven't read it yet, but it is said to be heavy and full of errors, though very interesting. Daniel
