About this listen

This book builds vocabulary by presenting the fascinating histories behind those words we need for more effective communication and comprehension. Focusing on a core of 100 words and their background stories, the author links these words with hundreds of synonyms and antonyms. Greek and Latin word parts introduce additional words. Informative and amusing exercises reinforce the vocabulary entries.

I have heard of most words but tend not to use them in everyday language; this book will help me change that. It's a easy listen, well narrated and quite fascinating. Having words that are similar also mentioned is an added bonus. I will be getting the others in this series.

Perfectly interesting explanations of word origins
