Overview
In A Concise Public Speaking Handbook, authors Steven and Susan Beebe emphasize the importance of considering the audience at every point in the speech-making process. By focusing on the dynamics of diverse audiences, ethics and communication apprehension, the text narrows the gap between the classroom and the real world.
The 6th Edition offers fresh examples related to recent social events, as well as updated research throughout. Updated How To boxes provide clear instructions for applying textbook concepts to real-life public speaking. A new chapter on mediated public speaking foregrounds the ways in which the rapid growth of communication technology has changed our interpersonal interactions.
