The Art of Presenting : Getting It Right in the Post-Modern World

This informal, fun guide is ideal for anyone involved in public speaking; addressing a group of people in a wide range of situations including: lecturing as part of your day job; presenting research findings to your academic peers; and presenting to potential future colleagues as part of an interview process.

These situations are all different, and as with many things, context is everything.

Whether you're working with large or small audiences, there are basic rules for speaking that should never be overshadowed by bewildering presentation technology. 'This book is about talking. It's one of my favourite activities. Just ask my students, friends, family and anyone else who knows me.

The problem is that I believe that the art of talking or public speaking is under threat from technology.

The focus of this book is the times when we are speaking in public, addressing a group of people.' - Alan Gillies.
