Comment |
Confidence in Public Speaking | Nelson | Public speaking textbook from a course I did long ago. | |
Public Speaking Module | Berger | Public speaking coursepack from a course I did long ago (same one as the other public speaking book). | |
The Communication of Ideas | Royal Bank of Canada | This is an odd collection of how to write, use words, speak in public, etc. put out as a public service by a bank, of all things. Now over 40 years old even in this 19th printing, one can use the advice still, but it would have to be regarded as incomplete - and of course the social context mentioned has changed. |
