 Good for class... September 30, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I would have never looked at this book before i needed it for class, but it is a good source for preparing for any type of public speaking occasion. It is truly helpful. The text has examples and the examples of speeches are usually also in video form on the CD's that come with the text. Also, there are CD's so that you can listen to the chapter (in your car) for example. I personally read each chapter and used the CD's for extra review... Good source for Public Speaking classes, or preparing for any type of presentation.

Excellent text book. The CD-Rom guide book gives you the extra help needed to excel in the course. The topic finder is also a great tool.

Excellent System-Too Partisan January 23, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I use this text to teach speech. It is a very good, systematic look at creating and delivering a speech. The system is great and the presentation is great.
However, you may be irritated like I am that the examples of mistakes are overwhelmingly made by males, who don't hold PC views, such as the business man who makes a big deal, the student who questions global warming theory, the student who doesn't want to attend the anti-war talk, the library volunteer who goes to church. While Lucas can't directly attack their positions, when he needs an example of a speech mistake, these are the people he chooses. It definitely detracts from an otherwise flawless book, especially when he is so preachy about respecting other viewpoints.
