Publisher's Synopsis
For a language that is supposedly dead, Latin has a very strong presence in today's world: it is almost like it is alive and kicking.
Not only is it the direct precursor to languages spoken by more than a billion people spoken in Europe and the Americas, but it also enjoys popularity in scholarly and intellectual circles, and even in more obvious ways like the Roman numerals on clock faces. A good knowledge of Latin is as useful now as it ever was. Enjoy the book!
