The Essential Elements of Public Speaking is a concise, yet comprehensive exploration of the essentials that the beginning public speaker needs to prepare, research, and present an effective public speech. Not my first choice for a basic book By M. Bromberg Very politically correct, and thus helpful if you plan on speaking to a cross-cultural audience.

I had it for an introductory public-speaking college course undergrad , and found it too heavy on PC and not heavy enough on basic public-speaking skills, an overall frustrating experience. Great book! By Fancy94 I ordered this book because it was required for my speech class. It did have a lot of common sense information that most people would already know but the book was very helpful, informative and interesting. Even if the book is not a requirement, I would recommend to anyone seeking a higher level of knowledge in speaking.

Excellent book, but may not be necessary. I honestly don't know if I should consider that a good thing because the book was expensive for being 1s and 0s on my PC.
