Full Description
THE SPEAKER'S HANDBOOK, 10E, International Edition is an excellent textbook for students in a public speaking course, as well as a practical reference for the independent speaker. Its thorough coverage addresses the public speaking process, including planning, listening, and presentation aids, yet each topic can stand alone, giving readers a convenient reference even when they don't want to read the entire text. Forward-thinking new coauthor David Bodary joins Jo Sprague and Doug Stuart in THE SPEAKER'S HANDBOOK, 10E, International Edition to engage students in active learning beyond the classroom.
