SUMMARY

Written in a casual, lively style and clearly organized, this edition of Mastering Public Speaking equips students with a firm grounding in the "hows" and "whys" of public speaking, providing an ideal balance of theory and skills while placing important emphases on critiquing, ethics, and critical thinking.Building on its previous success, the Sixth Edition retains its popular and distinctive emphasis on the ethical contract between speaker and listener and on the value of critiquing speeches to improve one's own skills. Full of student examples from both two- and four-year schools (some of which are included in video form on MySpeechLab), Mastering Public Speaking adds interest and relevance to all aspects of the speech-making process.New to This Edition . . .

A stunning new design will engage students while presenting content in a more user-friendly style.What your colleagues are saying . . ."I find a lot to like in this text since I have used it since 1993.
