270pp. Publisher's cloth-covered boards (sharp, bright, square). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. There is a small mark on the fore-edge of the text block. In its original, unclipped, dust jacket (mild bump at spine head). Very good copy. Perhaps the most insightful book available on public speaking, it is also a profound study of how to communicate.

Anderson shares his five key techniques to presentation success: Connection, Narration, Explanation, Persuasion and Revelation (plus the three to avoid). He also answers the most frequently asked questions about giving a talk, from 'What should I wear?' to 'How do I handle my nerves?'.
Ted Talks is also full of presentation tips from such TED notable speakers as Sir Ken Robinson, Bill Gates, Mary Roach, Amy Cuddy, Elizabeth Gilbert, Dan Gilbert, Amanda Palmer, Matt Ridley and many more. This is a lively, fun read with great practical application from the man who knows what goes into a truly memorable speech. In Ted Talks Anderson pulls back the TED curtain for anyone who wants to learn how to prepare an exceptional presentation.

From the Back Cover
This is not just the most insightful book ever written on public speaking it s also a brilliant, profound look at how to communicate. If you ever plan to utter a sound, this is a must-read. It gives me hope that words can actually change the world.
Adam Grant, Wharton professor, author of Give and Take and Originals
Nobody in the world better understands the art and science of public speaking than Chris Anderson. He has nurtured, coaxed, and encouraged so many speakers over the years (myself included) helping us to bring forth our very best performances onstage, even when we were at our most nervous and overwhelmed. He is the absolutely perfect person to have written this book, and it will be a gift to many.
Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love and The Signature of All Things
The TED Talk has reinvented the art of rhetoric for the twenty-first century. Goodbye to windy academese, scientific gobbledygook, pompous moralizing, PowerPoint chloroform we now know that ideas worth spreading can indeed be spread far and wide, and with clarity and panache. This book may restore rhetoric to its time-honored place as one of the essential skills of an educated citizen.
Steven Pinker, Harvard professor, author of How the Mind Works and The Sense of Style
Here for the first time, Chris Anderson and the TED leadership team set out all they ve learned about the dos and don ts of public speaking. Is there a single recipe for a great speech? Of course not. But there are some essential ingredients, which the TED team presents here with concision, verve, and wit (which are also some of the ingredients). An inspiring, contemporary guide to the venerable art of oratory.
Sir Ken Robinson, education reformer, author of Creative Schools

Shipping terms
Free economy shipping in the UK, regardless of the number of books ordered or the value of the order.
Overseas shipping costs are dependent on the weight of the books orders. You may therefore see different shipping costs for different books quoted alongside the price of the book. Books to be sent to Hawaii and Alaska will incur an additional charge above that quoted for delivery to the USA (this is because couriers charge more for delivery to these states).
Our books are dispatched regularly three times a week. Please inquire if you require expediated or 'best endeavours' shipping.
We use bespoke book boxes for most books; very small, awkwardly-shaped, multi-volume sets etc may have different packaging solutions to best protect them in transit. Our book boxes are made from recycled material and are fully recyclable. We are commited to minimising the environment impact of our book business and hope that you can support us in this endeavour.
