"Essentials of Public Speaking" is a great introduction to the subject of public speaking. This concise book can easily be read in a few sittings. Originally published in 1921, this timeless classic has been lovingly restored for today's public speaker. In the author's own words "his sole aim has been to include in one small volume a brief but comprehensive outline of the fundamentals of effective speaking in as logical an order as the subject permits." DuBois covers all the key areas of public speaking, including: Consider the Audience, Mental Energy, Mental Imagery and Imagination, Concrete Language, Inductive and Deductive Thinking, Causes of Belief, Purposes of Speaking, The Instructive Speech, The Impressive Speech, The Argumentative Speech, The Appealing Speech, Scope of the Speech, Importance of Preparation, Collecting Material, Selecting Material, Arranging Material, Importance of Clear Thinking, Rhetoric, Reading Aloud, Vocabulary, Grammar, Style, Delivery, Enunciation, Emphasis, Pitch, The Eye of the Audience, Distractions, The First Impression, Posture and Carriage, Gestures, Facial Expression, The Speaking Body, Attention, Association, Repetition, Health and Speaking, Care of the Body, Breathing, and Voice. DuBois' "Essentials of Public Speaking" should be a welcome addition to the collection of any student of public speaking, whether academic or professional, beginner or experienced.
