There are no direct records of the original Indo-European speech. By comparing the vocabularies of its various descendants, however, it is possible to reconstruct the basic Indo-European roots with considerable confidence. In The Origins of English Words, Shipley catalogues these proposed roots and follows the often devious, always fascinating, process by which some of their offshoots have grown.
Anecdotal, eclectic, and always enthusiastic, The Origins of English Words is a diverting expedition beyond linguistics into literature, history, folklore, anthropology, philosophy, and science.

Thanks for uploading. Very interesting subject, but in audio form, hard to use as a reference book.
Not a criticism, just an observation.

Webby1948 - I agree. Some books are not audio-friendly.
It’s a bit like “How To Do Origami” as an audiobook.
I’ve just finished listening to an audiobook of ‘Asimov’s Guide to Science’ in which the chemical bonds of huge molecules were read out - atom by atom. For each one, I had to fast-forward maybe 4 minutes to get back to the narrative.

Webby1948 - an real example.
Today in ABB, I found, “Two Heads: A Graphic Exploration of How Our Brains Work with Other Brains
”
Described as…
“Highly original and ingeniously illustrated”
and
“an irresistible visual delight”
… for the ears?
