  John Edgar Hoover (January 1, 1895 - May 2, 1972) was an American law enforcement administrator who, after being appointed by President Calvin Coolidge in 1924 as the fifth and final director of the Bureau of Investigation (BOI), became the first director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 1935, where he remained until his death in May 1972--serving a total of 48 years leading both the BOI and the FBI under eight presidents. Hoover expanded the FBI into a larger crime-fighting agency and instituted a number of modernizations to policing technology, such as a centralized fingerprint file and forensic laboratories. The following audio clips include Hoover addressing domestic spying activities, deficiencies in parole laws, the dangers of communism, the obstacles faced by the Bureau and Special Agents a rash of high profile kidnappings, and critics of the FBI and its policies.

  The Elements of Style

  "Make every word tell."
  
  William Strunk Jr. had one mission: to kill bad writing at the source. The original Elements of Style is a concentrate of linguistic discipline. It does not suggest; it commands. Strunk provides eight elementary rules of usage and ten principles of composition that remain the "Golden Rules" for anyone who wants to be understood. From his fierce defense of the active voice to his legendary insistence on brevity, Strunk's original text is a masterclass in literary efficiency. This is the book that taught a generation of writers that to be "vigorous," one must be "concise."
  
  The Rules of Usage: Strunk tackles the mechanics of English with surgical precision. He settles the placement of the possessive apostrophe, the use of the serial comma, and the proper handling of the dash. These are the non-negotiables of the English language, presented in a format that can be memorized in a single afternoon.
  
  The Philosophy of the Active Voice: "The active voice is usually more direct and vigorous than the passive." This single observation revolutionized modern communication. Strunk demonstrates how shifting the subject of a sentence can breathe life into stagnant text, turning a dull report into a compelling narrative.
  
  Why It Is a Timeless Tool: The 1918 original is preferred by purists for its brevity and its unapologetic "tough love" approach to the English language. It is the perfect desk companion for students, editors, and professionals who want to strip away the fluff and communicate with maximum impact.

  Socially Psyched: A Short Book...

  This is a collection of what I feel are some of the most important social/cognitive psychology experiments, studies, demonstrations, biases, and systematic reviews, presented in an entertaining way while adhering to academic standards. 
   
  I have always been fascinated by how our behaviors, cognition (thoughts), and affect (how we feel) are greatly dependent upon our social environment and our imperfect brains. I find it fascinating--perhaps because I am an American who was raised in the typical American cultural environment where I learned that what we consider "the self" consists of some magic "soul" that defines who we are—our behaviors (including choices and decisions), our cognition (including thoughts and beliefs), and our feelings. This could not be further from the truth. "We" are a result of an often incomprehensible interaction between biology and environment where some traits are more greatly influenced by social factors than others. Who we are is a result of social forces—the influence of other people and the human-created systems in which we operate. We can ignore this fact, maintain an illusion of control, or face reality and learn how to navigate this world and come out on top—personally, professionally, and financially. I choose the latter. 
   
  My name is Bo Bennett, and I hold a PhD in social psychology with a passion for this subject. While this book is not about me, my interpretations and commentary do make up most of the sections of each entry based on the content written by the original authors of the research or other sources—each of which will be cited when used. 
  Enjoy this short book!
