Dalla quarta di copertina

Public Speaking: An Audience-Centered Approach brings theory and practice together in an understandable and applicable manner. Its distinctive and popular approach emphasizes the importance of analyzing and considering the audience at every point along the way, with marginal icons highlighting audience-related discussions. This model of public speaking serves as a foundation as the text guides students through the step-by-step process of public speaking, focuses their attention on the importance and dynamics of diverse audiences, and narrows the gap between the classroom and the real world.

Praise for Public Speaking: An Audience-Centered Approach

“I have seen a number of speech textbooks in my teaching career. I think the Beebe and Beebe text is one of the best on the market. There is a good theory base and practical, hands-on examples for students to use.”

“The students have said to me that they're glad there isn't a lot of 'dry, boring stuff' in the text. Little do they know, but the 'theory stuff' is in there, but it isn't dry and boring. ”
Ann Marie Jablonowski, Owens Community College

“I love the information on classical rhetoric-where was this information when I needed it?-so clear, so concise and so organized. ”
Linda Kurz, University of Missouri- Kansas City

“Your book does a great job of explaining the theory and then giving practical examples of how to apply it. ”
Cara Schollenberger, Bucks Country Community College

“Kudos to Beebe and Beebe for including the various aspects of culture such as individualistic and collectivistic....”
Carla J. Harrell, Old Dominion University
