Public Speaking: The Evolving Art

Both timely and practical, Coopman and Lull's PUBLIC SPEAKING: THE EVOLVING ART, 4th Edition, equips students with solid fundamentals by combining well-respected traditions of public speaking instruction with the wealth of digital resources available today. Packed with examples from popular culture, the text analyzes the public speaking success of contemporary figures like Bernie Sanders and Pope Francis, while "Apply It" boxes encourage students to put their new skills into practice outside the classroom. The text is now available with MindTap Speech, a customizable, online learning platform that combines all learning tools --readings, multimedia, activities, and assessments -- into a singular Learning Path as well as empowers instructors with new assessment capabilities for traditional, online, and hybrid courses. MindTap also includes short video and animation segments featuring four peer mentors who guide readers through the concepts and strategies presented in the text.
