Never before has the public speaking market witnessed a phenomenon like that of THE ART OF PUBLIC SPEAKING. Recognised as the book that will work no matter what, the text continues to offer the strengths that have made it such a success through four editions: clarity, excellent, well-chosen examples, and speech excerpts that further clarify the important concepts, annotated sample speeches and outlines, and a solid grounding in classical theory and contemporary research. No other book comes close to its no-nonsense, down-to-earth approach and step-by-step instruction in the preparation and presentation of speeches. While the fifth edition retains its traditional strengths, it also offers comprehensive revision. The revision features new full-chapter coverage of ethics and a second chapter on the important topic of persuasion. It also provides new or expanded coverage of current issues such as multiculturalism, changing demographics and their influence on audience analysis, nonsexist language, emotional appeals, and the role of argumentation in persuasive speaking.

This brief book provides a stimulating addition to courses, and a way to engage students in critical thinking about issues. "The Boundaries of Free Speech" is a thoughtful and well illustrated overview of a major public issue which highlights three or four courses of action that could be taken, as well as arguments for and against each position. A ballot is included at the end of the book. Students check appropriate boxes on the ballot, reflecting their opinions on this issue. The ballots are mailed to National Forums Issues in Ohio and a summary report is prepared and sent to all participants as well as elected officials and policymakers working on this problem. Since 1981, when it started as an effort to engage Americans in discussion and debate about the nation's pressing public issues, the National Issues Forums has become a nation-wide consortium of community forum conveners, the largest of its kind. The most rapidly growing part of this consortium is in colleges and universities, where professors in various areas - political science and government; sociology, social problems, and public policy; economics and health; communications - have found that the NIF issues books provide a useful addition to courses. The book engages students in critical thinking about current events and may be of use as a supplement to get students involved in important issues by giving them a chance to be part of a national consortium, knowing that their opinions will be shared with elected officials and policymakers.

Art of Public Speaking

The book continues to be informed by classical and contemporary theories of rhetoric but does not present theory for its own sake. Keeping a steady eye on the practical skills of public speaking, it offers full coverage of all major aspects of speech preparation and presentation. Throughout "The Art of Public Speaking" I have followed David Hume's advice that one 'who would teach eleoquence must do it chiefly by examples.' Whenever possible, I have tried to show the principles of public speaking in action in addition to telling about them. Thus you will find in the book a large number of narratives and extracts from speeches - set off from the text in a contrasting typeface. There are also many speech outlines and sample speeches. All these are provided so students can see how to formulate specific purpose statements, how to analyze and adapt to audiences, how to organize ideas and construct outlines, how to assess evidence and reasoning, how to use language effectively, and so forth.
