Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The World Port Index (PUB 150) contains a tabular listing of thousands of ports throughout the world, describing their location, characteristics, known facilities, and available services.  Of particular interest are the applicable volume of Sailing Directions and the number of the harbor chart.  The table is arranged geographically, with an alphabetical index.
The selection of these places is based on criteria established by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.  They are not random choices. The applicable chart and Sailing Directions is given for each place listed.
In order to present such a large amount of diversified data in a single volume of convenient size, a simple code is used to indicate certain types of information. The code symbols are explained at the top of each page of text.
This book is corrected by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
