Review: "The book is written specifically for students and professionals who have little or no experience giving presentations and for those who are particularly anxious about public speaking. It gives concrete advice about designing, delivering, and defending presentations. This advice includes recognizing the appropriate goals of the presentation, using the appropriate fonts, projecting one's voice, and dealing with stage fright. Also included is advice on giving persuasive presentations, drawing on recent social psychological research, and advice on lecturing to students."--BOOK JACKET.
