"Rothwell's new text includes the most comprehensive, vitally important content on speech anxiety I have ever seen in a public speaking text. This book digs deeper than other texts into what students need to grasp while also providing techniques that they can readily apply."--Marilyn Simpkins Brimo, Mt. Hood Community College
"I love this book. I love the tone, content, and writing style and find it appropriate and engaging for college students. Overall great scholarship--way more than most other texts! Practically Speaking takes public-speaking texts to a new and exciting place. It is unlike any other public-speaking book I've encountered and I enjoyed and appreciated the breath of fresh air."--Brandi Quesenberry, Virginia Tech
"The sense of humor is brilliant, edgy, topical, and smart. I found myself literally LOL-ing numerous times."--Andrew Herrmann, East Tennessee State University
"Practically Speaking is fresh, current, and concise-a winning combination."--Scott McLean, Arizona Western College/Northern Arizona University-Yuma
"It is very rare to read a textbook and not want to put it down; a unique situation I found myself in as I read Practically Speaking. It is a refreshing new textbook that reads more like an informative narrative without succumbing to the fate of being simply entertainment. The text does not speak down to students; it talks to them and engages them in a way that only a good storyteller could do. All-in-all, this book is a great read!"--Matthew Sciarrino, St. John's University
"The text is very accessible and written in a conversational style. The stories are effective and current, which will help students relate to the material. Even with the goal of brevity, this textbook has the most developed section on persuasion and effectiveness that I have seen so far in introductory speaking textbooks."--Donata Nelson, Rockingham Community College
"I'm a fan of Rothwell's writing style--and my students are as well. Thumbs up again and again for writing style. His style is concise, yet full of substance and even humorous. It's not 'dumbed down.' The text is chock-full of terrific research, current and even edgy examples, and solid advice for students learning the art of public speaking."--Jill Alcorn, Green River Community College
"The writing style encourages/invites/compels students to continue reading."--Quinton Dale Davis, University of Texas at San Antonio
"The writing style is excellent--very straightforward, easy to understand, clear, and concise. The author previews his points and then makes them in a very direct manner, using vivid examples."--Kathy Berggren, Cornell University
"The length is perfect. The chapters are easy to read and are full of relevant examples that are sure to capture students' attention. The author covers all of the usual topics dealing with public speaking, but does so in a unique and interesting dialogue with the reader."--Valerie Manno Giroux, University of Miami
