You may be fluent in many languages but sometimes you could find
yourself "off the beaten track" where you can't communicate. "Point
it", with 1300 items to point at, is the answer. Everyone in the
world will understand you. This passport-sized assistant is used
not only by tourists but also by UN peacekeeping forces, Olympic
athletes and speech therapists. The book is the result of the
author's extensive travels in the five continents
"This phrase book is a gem for those Spanish and English speakers
who need help with communicating with each other and struggle to
find the right words. It's a fantastic idea for the polo community
and I am sure will become a regular on the book shelves and in the
pockets of many grooms and owners. A most welcome contribution to
the polo world." - Margie Brett, founder and publisher of Polo
Times. "Ramon is the philosopher of the pampas. An incredible book
for everyone in the polo industry and great entertainment at the
same time." - John Horswell, UK coach.

The enormous success of Mel Gibson's film 'The Passion of Christ'
has revived interest in the Aramaic language. It is now recognised
throughout the world as the language spoken by Christ and the
Apostles. Contrary to popular belief, however, it is very much a
'living' language spoken today by the Assyrian peoples in Iran,
Iraq, Syria and Turkey. It is also heard in Assyrian emigre
communities of the US, Europe and Australia. Modern Aramaic or
Assyrian is made up of a number of dialects. The two major ones are
Swadaya (Eastern) and Turoyo (Western). This unique dictionary and
phrasebook incorporates both dialects in a way that illustrates the
differences and gives the reader a complete understanding of both.
The dialects are presented in an easy-to-read romanised form that
will help the reader to be understood.
