Hear the Authors Lecture through their Book

Teknia has teamed up with the authors so that you can purchase their lectures. They have different lecture styles, so you may want to listen to them lecture through chapter 5 and make your own choice.

Dr. Pratico lectures for 22 hours and are available on a two CD-ROM set in mp3 format for $74.

Dr. Van Pelt's lectures last for 18 hours and are available in mp3 format ($74).
