Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

What made the experience of listening to The Modern Scholar: The Life and Times of Mark Twain the most enjoyable?
Felt like the author knew him and is just telling about a friend.
What did you like best about this story?
Followed a distinct timeline.
Any additional comments?
The author/performer is pretty soft spoken, but it was alright. Just made me pay that much more attention.

Flat delivery, great content
This is by far one of the more satisfying biographical treatments of Mark Twain available on Audible. Michael Shelden relates the high points of Twain’s life and career, and along the way provides passionate and sometimes moving analyses of his major works.
Unfortunately his delivery is flat, so much so that it took me a long time to get around to listening to it all the way through. What I found is that his voice grew on me, and I was able to focus on the content and stop thinking about the unemotional (and sometimes repetitive) way it was presented.
Shelden knows what he’s talking about. He wrote one of the best books available about the later years of Mark Twain, Man in White, also available on Audible (and fortunately with a better narrator who is able to do justice to the book). Despite Shelden’s weakness as a speaker, this is definitely worth a listen.

Loved these lectures on Mark Twain, life and lit
I just loved this lecture series. The lectures were perfectly done for a gentle listen in the evening before bed. Yet they were thought provoking. To be honest, I hadn't really thought about Mark Twain for decades! And these lectures opened me up to why he has a timeless appeal and relevance to those interested in the American experience. I loved the lecturer and have gone on to listen/read some of Twain's novels again.

Skip this one, listen to a Great Courses lecture
The content is there however the professor presenting this lecture is not good. I had to speed it up because of his slow talking. His stream of consciousness style presentation feels like he's trying to think about the next word he's saying constantly.
