Equips students with a firm grounding in the “how's” and “why's” of public speaking by providing an ideal balance of theory and skills while placing an important emphasis on critiquing, ethics, and critical thinking.

Written in a casual, lively style and clearly organized, this edition of Mastering Public Speaking builds on its previous success. The Fifth Edition retains its popular and distinctive emphasis on the ethical contract between speaker and listener and on the value of critiquing speeches to improve one's own skills. Students also learn how to think critically as they choose speech topics, conduct research, organize content, select language, manage nervousness, and deliver speeches. The Fifth Edition features a heightened emphasis on the role of new technology in the public speaking process and shows students how to effectively use the latest in technology to research and deliver speeches. Full of student examples from both two- and four-year schools, Mastering Public Speaking adds interest and relevance to all aspects of the speech-making process.

Strong coverage of ethics throughout—
- The first public speaking book to include a full chapter on ethics (Ch. 2) continues to stress to students the importance of being ethical speakers and listeners.
- “Ethical Decisions” boxes present mini-cases in which students must choose between controversial courses of action. Thought-provoking questions follow each scenario, providing springboards for engaging classroom debates.
- In-chapter discussions of ethical issues throughout the book stress to students how ethics is a part of the entire public speaking process.

Emphasis on speech criticism—
- Step-by-step instruction on speech criticism is introduced in Ch. 4 along with discussion on reacting to criticism that shows students how to use feedback constructively.
- Critiquing guidelines printed in the back of the book serve as a reference tool.
- A model speech and speech critique are included in the appendix.
- Annotated speeches appear in Chs. 15 and 17 and illustrate how two students constructed their informative and persuasive speeches.
- “Practice Critique” activities that correlate with student speeches in the Appendix appear at the end of each chapter.

Emphasis on critical thinking—
- Discussions on how each step in the speechmaking process uses specific critical thinking skills are incorporated throughout the text. These discussions appear early in the chapters to reinforce how critical thinking relates to the topic at hand.

Emphasis on technology—
- The Fifth Edition provides a current guide to student research of databases and Internet sources, with a strong emphasis on how to evaluate Internet sites.
- Web site features throughout the book emphasize the wealth of useful information on the Internet.

“Key Points” boxes, chapter outlines, and detailed chapter summaries reinforce instruction and aid student review.

Two full chapters on persuasion highlight persuasive theory, types of argument, and a discussion of logical fallacies.

“Speaking with Confidence” boxes feature students throughout the country explaining how Grice & Skinner's text helped them to build their confidence throughout the stages of the public speaking process.

New Contemporary Classic Speeches DVD (0-205-40552-5) available for instructors and as a Valuepack option for students when ordering this book.

New text-specific student CD-ROM (available free when packaged with the text) features student and professional speech clips, analysis and critiquing exercises, and speechwriting functions. The perfect companion to Mastering Public Speaking, students can watch, analyze, critique and write their way to better speeches!

Updated coverage of electronic research sources, with increased emphasis on databases and academic search engines, provides a ready-reference for students conducting research. Increased examples of MLA and APA bibliographic forms for electronic sources.

Eight new speeches are included in Ch. 7. The new and retained speeches represent a diversity of speakers and occasions: student and professional speakers; classroom and contest student speeches; speeches by two-year, four-year, and graduate school students; informative, persuasive, and special occasion speeches (Ch. 18 & Appendix).

Expanded treatment of the importance of using inclusive language (Ch. 12).

New section on how to cite sources in a speech provides an easy-to-understand reference for students (Ch. 8).

Updated examples, including those that reflect greater cultural diversity and changes in technology.

New section on how to construct and use questionnaires in analyzing the audience and developing a speech (Ch. 5).

Mastering Public Speaking equips students with a firm grounding in the “hows” and “whys” of public speaking by providing an ideal balance of theory and skills while placing important emphases on critiquing, ethics, and critical thinking.

Written in a casual, lively style and clearly organized, the Seventh Edition of Mastering Public Speaking builds on its previous success. The first public speaking book to devote an entire chapter to ethics, the Seventh Edition continues its popular and distinctive emphasis on the ethical contract between speaker and listener. Numerous examples from speeches by students from both two- and four-year schools illustrate all aspects of the speech-making process. The Seventh Edition also provides a current guide to researching databases and Internet sources, and a strong emphasis on how to evaluate Internet sites. “Exploring Online” features throughout the book emphasize the wealth of information on the Internet and provide an explanation of fair use guidelines. Two solid chapters on persuasion highlight persuasive theory and application and types of argument, and include a discussion of logical fallacies. “Speaking with Confidence” features throughout the Seventh Edition have students explain in their own words how various aspects of the speech process help build confidence. Marginal glossary entries, "Key Points" boxes, and bulleted chapter summaries aid student comprehension and retention.
