Language Death by David Crystal. I would consider this book as the clearest single-volume overview of causes, trajectories, and interventions in language loss
Language City by Ross Perlin. Perlin’s recent work adds up-to-date reportage on revitalization in practice, tying immigrant and Indigenous language maintenance to contemporary urban policy and education.
Poems from the Edge of Extinction: An Anthology of Poetry ed. by Chris McCabe. This anthology complements analysis with primary voices from endangered languages, offering literary evidence of vitality and loss across communities where the languages existed.
