G. Michael Campbell notes a shocking statistic in the opening pages of his book: Americans fear public speaking more than
death. One reason that so many professionals dread making
presentations is that they have not been trained in the basics. The best public speakers use
techniques that can be taught and learned, and Campbell presents many of the most important of these methods here. getAbstract.com strongly recommends this book to any novice public speakers, as well as to presentation veterans who are sure to pick up a new trick or two.
