Very quick and good read
Revisado: 09-18-22
I was able to finish this book quickly. It is very actionable and a clear account of the real ways thay educators are unfortunate, but willing examples, of bias in education. It was dense with information and examples

This is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past.

Horrible Mispronunciation
- De Andrew Rexroat en 10-28-19
- GRE Audio Study Guide: Ultimate GRE Test Prep Book
- De: Adrian Harris
- Narrado por: Lara Kazakova
The mispronounced words abound
Revisado: 11-17-20
I found myself deciphering the correct word from the definition as MANY words are not pronounced correctly. Words that end in D are pronounced with a hard "t" sound. The emphasis on syllables is "off" on words as well.
After the 3rd chapter I focused on how often the words were not said correctly versus new vocabulary.
There should have been more emphasis on pronouncing words using the widely used/accepted and alternatively as it is in the book.

How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

Good book but glosses over key points
Revisado: 01-07-20
The book is good but glosses over a salient point - race relations. He takes a clinical look at communication but comes from a biased view that ethno-cultural discrimination does not exist.

Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.

This is the first book I completed via Audible. It did not disappoint.
The book dives into the contradiction and racial divide that imbues the US Justice system anything but just. The points and arguments made by Mr. Stevenson leave little room to wonder what the "right" side is..... A wonderful read by a kind, just, brilliant legal mind.
