"This is a very comforting book for someone with a fear of speaking because it provides a clear set of guidelines to follow, while at the same time reminding others that there IS something to do to prepare for a talk other than just showing up!" -- Elizabeth J. Marsh, Washington University "This book is clearly written and fills an important gap in the market. I sincerely hope that it will spur people to think again about how they should best get their message across." -- Jamie Ward, University College London
