IMHO, the editors/authors had well met their objective as stated in pgxii that "numerous changes had been made in his new edition to ensure its currency and relevancy to students in today's academic environment!". It is concise, yet well furnished with communication theories, point form ideas, jargons, dos and donts. However, as somebody who read voraciously to prepare for his quarterly presentations to a demanding audience of 500+, this book is far from satisfactory. The answers to the exercises and questions in the end of each chapter definitely help. So bad they are only available in an instructor's manual. That make this a good textbook, but not one for common readers and businessmen. For those who happen to read this review with one goal in mind: How to do a good presentation or public speech, please read "Well Said by Darlene Price" and "Presentation SOS by Mark Wiskup" instead of this.
This is a great resource for those wishing to learn and perfect their public speaking and their communication skills generally. It is up to date with information on social media, which is perhaps the most misunderstood yet effective medium available to most people. Perhaps most importantly, the book is easy to understand and the writing is engaging - something not true of many textbooks.
Speaking with a Purpose has been updated and is an incredibly current speech text. Includes relevant information on using YouTube and social media. Liked the link between food allergies and clear thinking. Good price.
The book was in good condition but it seems there was a mix up and i got the instructors edition instead, luckily my professor doesn't use anything from the quiz or class activity sections of the book in her own curriculum. Other than that though the book was in prime condition and it was a pretty great buy
Very handy book! Nice and to the point. I've read this book more than once for my public speaking class.
Ordered as a textbook for the school system. They seem to be pleased with the book in the classroom!
