Review:

"This book is devoted to advanced-level listening and note-taking skills. Extracts on the two CDs are based on real lectures from academic fields such as banking, linguistics and psychology. The eight units are divided into two sections: macro-skills (e.g., note-taking) and micro-skills (e.g., word and sentence stress) with a rich blend of activities. A wide range of topics such as globalization, criminal courts and satellites are complemented by helpful unit summaries and 'sound advice' sections."
