A very low quality text book that is made to look useful. Along the way you will find out what Woodrow Wilson said about X and that you have to be prepared before doing something. Stock photograph and dated graphics. Compared with what Google can offer, this is some hundred steps back from the goal of Public Speaking.

My professor had us read this ENTIRE textbook, so I'll be damned if I don't count it towards my books read this year!

Had to read for an online college course. It was good enough, it just went into too much detail sometimes.

This loose-leaf tome provided a detailed structure on how to effectively give public speeches. Beebe mainly focused on the immense importance of being audience-centered.

Read for public speaking. Heavy leftward slant. Let's see how unparanoid Alex Jones's claims are in the near future.

Yay! I'm practically almost done with my speech class. I'm marking its book as read, cause I ain't ever gonna refer to it again. I hope.
