Law professor James J. Duane became a viral sensation thanks to a 2008 lecture outlining the reasons why you should never agree to answer questions from the police - especially if you are innocent and wish to stay out of trouble with the law. In this timely, relevant, and pragmatic new book, he expands on that presentation, offering a vigorous defense of every citizen's constitutionally protected right to avoid self-incrimination.

Blueprint

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 240
In Blueprint, behavioral geneticist Robert Plomin describes how the DNA revolution has made DNA personal by giving us the power to predict our psychological strengths and weaknesses from birth. A century of genetic research shows that DNA differences inherited from our parents are the consistent life-long sources of our psychological individuality - the blueprint that makes us who we are. This, says Plomin, is a game-changer. It calls for a radical rethinking of what makes us who were are.

Wordbuilders: the convenient and entertaining way to build a more powerful vocabulary. Each 60-minute audiobook volume within this series features 40 words used in everyday conversation, or in the media and books, but which many people skip, finding these words difficult or even impossible to define or pronounce accurately. Using highly effective mnemonic devices, captivating dramatized vignettes, and a variety of exercises to aid retention, each Wordbuilders program teaches you how to pronounce, define, and use a new selection of common but hard-to-use words.

Excellent! I jot down each word...
Reviewed: 09-22-11
I love this, I got this a few years ago... I couldn't get to it sooner because not having the list of words prevented me from learning the words.
But now, I'm galvanized, inspired, I have a notebook and I jot down each word, then check its spelling online (online dictionaries, use ones u trust)... the system of pneumonics are really helpful, I like the readers, it's actually a lot more fun than reading a vocabulary list.
Again, I love it!

There's an accompanying pamphlet to this (I wish audible had it on this page) but I found it at http://www.pulpgamer.com (mentioned in the beginning of this audio)
I have to take notes eg. don't pronounce the r's unless it's before a vowel, something like that--I have to rewind and write these tips down

Awesome
Reviewed: 03-26-10
I'm learning German, Spanish and French at the moment (I have time, besides Geman is similar to English, Spanish is similar to French so it all works out)
I have Learn in Your Car for all these languages. They help me with practicing word order, vocabulary and pronunciation. For the price, it is terrific!
Plus, it's a great skill enhancer. The voice says it in English, gives you time to say it in the French language, and then it says it in French as it should be. It's a wonderful way to get better at French.
BTW I'm also using Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur and Berlitz Rush Hour for both and I can easily converse with a native of these languages, and I'm just getting started. Check with me in four months :)

I like that it includes a downloadable PDF file to read.
This works like Pimsleur, with dialogues. I would like it to be a lot longer though.
