A Handbook of Public Speaking for Scientists and Engineers helps scientists and engineers improve their skills at speaking in public in the course of their professional activities. The book shows how best to prepare papers for presentation at a technical conference and how to put cases to committee meetings. Not only does the book deal with specific events, but it also provides the techniques of more effective speaking, whether presenting papers, answering questions, or speaking off-the-cuff. The book is written in a highly entertaining manner and should put all complacent lecturers on their guard.

About the Author

Peter Kenny

From the Back Cover

This book shows the inexperienced speaker how, among other things, to prepare and present papers for a conference, how to chair a committee (and get your own resolutions passed) and how to give an impromptu talk to a group of distinguished visitors. He offers helpful hints for improvement to speakers who think that their performances may be satisfactory; even a quick glance through his pages in the vital few moments before 'going on' can yield useful reminders.
