Multilingualism: A Very Short Introduction - Very Short Introductions
Maher, John C. (Professor of Linguistics, International Christian University, Tokyo)

He considers our notion of language as national or cultural identities, and discusses why nations cluster and survive around particular languages even as some territories pursue autonomy or nationhood.
