A strong emphasis on visual aids includes an insightful, four-color insert detailing how to get the most from your presentation materials. With ESSENTIALS OF PUBLIC SPEAKING, 4e you also have the option of including a wealth of learning resources like Speech Builder Express 3.0 speech-outlining software, InfoTrac« College Edition, sample outlines, and more. It is an invaluable resource—at a value price. Review:"I think what distinguishes it is the emphasis on the speaking process. This process is threaded throughout the text so the student is always reminded of how what is being covered relates to the process. Also, I have not seen the quick-start guide anywhere [else]. This is a great feature which I emphasize in class." Review:"ESSENTIALS OF PUBLIC SPEAKING is a basic introductory textbook that covers the most essential elements of public speaking. The text is easy to read, provides numerous examples, and is very affordable." Review:"The author's style is engaging and friendly, detailed, helped [my students and me] have a beneficial discussion about anxiety and speaking."
