"Coopman and Lull's PUBLIC SPEAKING: THE EVOLVING ART combines time-tested techniques with innovative variations on the respected traditions of public speaking instruction to help students become confident, competent, and ethical public speakers. It illustrates the evolution of public speaking as an art form -- from Greek and Roman traditions to the most contemporary forms of public address, including the use of presentation media. Packed with examples from popular culture, the fourth edition analyzes the public speaking success of such contemporary figures as Bernie Sanders and Malala Yousafzai." -- Publisher's website
