Public Speaking: Strategies for Success, 9th edition

Public Speaking: Strategies for Success offers sound strategies for becoming a strategic public speaker. Author David Zarefsky and new co-author Jeremy Engels emphasize that public speaking is an art dictated by the dynamics of an audience. Highlighting critical thinking, the authors guide you to understand the circumstances in which you speak, to make deliberate choices about how to navigate these circumstances, and to effectively plan in order to achieve your speaking goals.

The 9th Edition offers updated coverage of diversity, ethics and social media to address the needs of today's beginning speakers. New student speeches entitled “Meeting the Needs of International Students” and “Saving Our National Parks” serve as contemporary examples.
