More Latin for the illiterati

Latin is always with us, as Jon R. Stone successfully demonstrated in Latin for the Illiterati (Routledge 1996). Now, in More Latin for the Illiterati (Routledge 1999), Stone has sharpened his focus and concentrates on the three areas where the Latin language is the most prevalent and its influence is the strongest: Medicine, Law, and Religion. In this useful and engaging sequel to Latin for the Illiterati, Stone presents many more of the Latin words and phrases that continue to play a vital role in the lexicon of everyday English. — from the back-cover of More Latin for the Illiterati.
