The Art of Public Speaking

The Art of Public SpeakingThe Art of Public Speaking by Stephen E. Lucas

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

As far as text books go, this one isn't bad. There are numerous examples throughout the book. It had very relevant information.

Synopsis: Few texts have been favored with such success. Fifteen after its introduction,The Art of Public Speaking remains the leading text in its discipline. The Art of Public Speaking is successful because it works well for both students and instructors. Instructors have come to rely on its careful explanations,its reinforcing examples,and its attention to the basics that help their tentative students become competent speakers. Instructors have also come to rely on the most comprehensive package of support materials available with any public speaking text. Meticulously prepared by the author to support and reflect the text,the ancillary materials allow the least experienced teaching assistant and the busiest professor to teach with confidence.
