I don't know of such a particular book, but "Dictionary of Latin and Greek 
Origins" presents English words built on Latin and Greek roots in a readable 
and informative way.  The definition of each root is given with a history of 
its development and various usage.  Example sentences show the roots in 
action and an index is given to help the reader locate a particular English 
word.

If you're interested, here's the pertinent info: Bob and Maxine Moore, 
Dictionary of Latin and Greek Origins (Barnes and Noble Books: New York, 
2000).  ISBN: 0-7607-2082-7
