A Handbook of Public Speaking for Scientists and Engineers

This book shows the inexperienced speaker how, among other things, to prepare and present papers for a conference, how to chair a committee (and get your own resolutions passed) and how to give an impromptu talk to a group of distinguished visitors. He offers helpful hints for improvement to speakers who think that their performances may be satisfactory; even a quick glance through his pages in the vital few moments before 'going on' can yield useful reminders.
