Great intention. Over-execution.

While the book serves academic importance as a well-researched and authoritative source in the documentation of anything (and everything) Trinidad and Tobago, the title is inaccurate and the content is very broad and inherently, a bit directionless. The title markets the book as both a dictionary and historical dissertation, yet the number of entries on flora and fauna, which composes 36% of the entries, seem excessive for the purposes of linguistic or historical interest, but instead seem of more practical use if published separately as a biological or ecological assay of the region.
