Synopsis
A text on critical areas of the communication process, helping students become more effective thinkers, language users, and ethical purveyors of informative and persuasive messages. Takes a theory and practice approach, with chapters on public speaking and communication, language habits, researching, This crisply-written and time-tested introduction to public speaking text provides students with both the theoretical framework, based in the social sciences, for becoming more effective communicators and practical advice on how to accomplish this goal. Long a successful classroom tool, the eleventh edition enlists the insights provided by an eclectic range of disciplines and thinkers, from Cicero to the cognitive psychologists to the social constructionists. By making this abstract information accessible and usable, Ross shows students what they must do when they address an audience, how to make their speech better and more effective, and what are the ethical and logical considerations necessary to insure that the speech is accurate, fair-minded, and well-researched.

    The book arrived, packaged to protect it from its journey to me. The book was in better shape than the young student's I plan to help and tutor. Thank you to the seller for the prompt attention to my order. Everything was great!
