Bennett is a widely respected law professor and writer for Huffington Post and elsewhere who points out the mission of a prosecutor is to seek the truth, not convict. If the truth is revealed, the prosecutor has won. This audiobook provides great support for Bennett's point of view of duty to the truth by countless distinguished Supreme Court judges. Every voter should listen to this so criminal defendants get a fair hearing with the truth being everyone's duty, from judge and jury to the prosecutor and defendant lawyer. Refreshing. Should be a great listen for every juror and lawyer.

"A Christmas Dinner" is a perfect demonstration of Dickens' attitude towards the redemptive power of Christmas and the Christmas spirit. This is a lovely short story well worth listening to alongside his more famous writings about the holidays.

A legendary Oscar Wilde title that tells the whole story by its name. A fascinating woman or an enthralling a man is a Sphinx without a secret according to the story's narrator. The man involved is not so sure. A perfect rendering of a fascinating subject. (American accent narration.)

Conflict Resolution, Volume 2: More Training emphasizes more depth in relating to identify and solve conflicts. The basic plan continues from Volume 1's how-to work, to see if you can conclude by saying, "Let it be as you say," in order to build a bridge to the other side. This volume, however, is more complete than Volume 1. If you wish to listen to only one volume, we would suggest Volume 2 for those who want more depth in analysis and Volume 1 for those who want a quicker listen.

Social Media is good term for one-on-one communication with customers and a critical emphasis on survival and productive efforts by all organizations - for-profit, non-profit, educational, governmental, and unions. Marketers have long done this with ads, coupons, in-store discounts, premiums, and other such things. Now many are drilling down and capturing names, email addresses, and individual information.

"The Gift of the Magi" is not read or heard widely after one leaves high school, which is a shame, because it is such a magical story about expectations being crushed by realities, and the turn of events, which O. Henry was so masterful at achieving. The interesting twist is that these two people both sacrifice for each other, but that means neither of their gifts works out as planned. However (and O. Henry is full of howevers), the two are deeply in love and shrug it off and move on in their happiness.

"A Dark Brown Dog" is an unexpected Stephen Crane jewel. Crane is best known for three short stories, "The Open Boat", thought by many to be the best short story ever written; "The Blue Hotel"; and "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky". "A Dark Brown Dog" is the first cousin of Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, in being set in the rough, tough world of the New York Bowery of the late 19th century.

Another wonderful Dickens short story combining spectral images with Christmas. Wonderful turns of phrase and digressions throughout. To name but one, “faithful obstructions”, for servants - in other words, easier to do it yourself if not for pride of position. Playful, fun, and illuminating. One of his less listened-to stories; well worth it for anyone, but especially for fans.

A very short Dickens story relating our journey through life in 5 stages: being merry when very young, playing while a child, in love as a young adult, being busy in middle age with a family, and remembering in old age. Though sad throughout, Dickens has a flash of uplift at the end. A classic story for the Christmas season when one tends to do summing up during the holiday and the almost-new year. Another Dickens must-listen. Read by an American voice by listener request.

Alexander's Bridge was Willa Cather's first novel and one of her best. Bartley Alexander was the world's leading bridge builder, something that was considered an awesome skill in the early 20th century.
