Whether you're a frequent visitor to Europe or just an armchair traveler, the surprising and extraordinary stories in Lingo will forever change the way you think about the continent, and may even make you want to learn a new language. Lingo spins the reader on a whirlwind tour of sixty European languages and dialects, sharing quirky moments from their histories and exploring their commonalities and differences. Most European languages are descended from a single ancestor, a language not unlike Sanskrit known as Proto-Indo-European (or PIE for short), but the continent's ever-changing borders and cultures have given rise to a linguistic and cultural diversity that is too often forgotten in discussions of Europe as a political entity. Lingo takes us into today's remote mountain villages of Switzerland, where Romansh is still the lingua franca, to formerly Soviet Belarus, a country whose language was Russified by the Bolsheviks, to Sweden, where up until the 1960s polite speaking conventions required that one never use the word "you" in conversation, leading to tiptoeing questions of the form: "Would herr generaldirekt r Rexed like a biscuit?" Spanning six millenia and sixty languages in bite-size chapters, Lingo is a hilarious and highly edifying exploration of how Europe speaks.Binding Type: Paperback

Very helpful for law enforcement
Got this book recently and I am very impressed and happy I purchased it. I will keep this review short and to the point. This book covers everything with various searches including, cars, homes, etc. Anyone that works in law enforcement should pick this up as it provides what you can and cannot do, along with example cases. Great guide for any rookie and even vets that need a refresher.

A must have for all officers!
This book is a must-have for ALL officers. I use it constantly as my go-to reference for tricky search issues. My sergeant also has a copy and she reads one of the sections (about 1-2 pages) a few times a week during roll call. I hope that the author comes out with another book just with search warrant template language.

Super informative and relieves some stress over questions that I have
Really informative and will help with a lot of questions that I have and questions that others need answered. Have been taking many blue to gold courses and I’m so intrigued to possibly make this a deep learning process for myself.

Easy to use
Great quick reference. The book is well organized and it’s easy to look things up. The case law footnotes give a good starting point for any further research that you may need.
