About the Book

As the first text of its kind, THE SPEAKER'S HANDBOOK has established itself as both an invaluable reference for the individual speaker and an excellent textbook for use in the public speaking course. Sprague and Stuart give careful consideration to key cultural, educational, and technology trends to provide not only exceptionally efficient blocks of text that reflect the most recent research, but also abundant examples-including a new collection of sample speeches. Each chapter within THE SPEAKER'S HANDBOOK'S eight tabbed parts can stand alone, enabling you to quickly consult just the section of the text most pertinent to their immediate needs. This Eighth Edition, now full-color throughout and bound with a durable plastic "comb" binding, offers new features such as Key Point boxes and Checklists, as well as new illustrations and other graphics that bring the material to life. This edition is further enhanced by a robust suite of online resources, including a fully interactive electronic version of the text and an integrated online study system that provides personalized learning plans designed to help you use your study time as efficiently and effectively as possible!

Review :
"I believe that THE SPEAKERaS HANDBOOK is the best packaged textbook system available today. This package provides a beginning instructor with a wealth of resources to get started in a Public Speaking course. If I happened to be a new instructor in the field of public speaking, I would feel very relieved and confident that I had resources not only for myself, but also for my students as well. Yet this package also provides a wealth of material to the experienced instructor, giving them tools to add, customize, and integrate their own resources into a public speaking course." "I donat think thereas another text that is as easy to customize to a variety of course structures (different time frames), student level (beginning or advanced), or instructor preference in terms of order of content coverage."
