100 Words to Make You Sound Great presents one hundred words that have been used effectively by presidential greats as well as famous scientists, economists, academics, figures of conscience, and even humorists. Tried and tested by movers and shakers such as Rachel Carson, Shirley Chisholm, Barry Goldwater, Al Gore, Martin Luther King Jr., and Princess Diana, these words get a point across with verve and effect.
