Grice & Skinner, Mastering Public Speaking 6e, in brief:
Mastering Public Speaking equips readers with a firm grounding in the “hows” and “whys” of public speaking by providing an ideal balance of theory and skills while placing important emphases on critiquing, ethics, and critical thinking. Written in a casual, lively style and clearly organized, this sixth 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. Readers learn how to think critically as they choose speech topics, conduct research, organize content, select language, manage nervousness, and deliver speeches.
