Inviting Transformation: Presentational Speaking for a Changing World 3rd Edition

As a required textbook for a communications course I can greatly appreciate the fact that this book was not very expensive and in fact that is the main reason why I am rating it as high as I am. If you are looking for a book that talks primarily about invitational rhetoric and applications thereof with some of the general nuts and bolts of general communication and speech this is a good book. If you can't stand the soft sciences or cultural relativism or social justice you will be rolling your eyes every other paragraph and especially during personal examples. I reiterate though it is a decent text if you can get over framing of the authors opinions in the context of rhetorical teachings. It accomplishes what it needs to at low cost with only minorly annoying issues so all in all its pretty decent.

I bought the book for an honors public speaking class but never ended up having to use it! LOL! I never read the book but my classmates who did read the book said it was a GREAT book! They all recommended me to read it over the summer break. LOL. I might have time later...

This book was ordered for a class, but I ended up keeping it because it had some really good information about public speaking that I could use in the future.

The book is great, but buyer beware - I bought this thinking I could view it on my Kindle Keyboard (which is less than 3 years old). It is NOT compatible with that model of Kindle, which is stated nowhere clearly. I ended up spending an hour on the phone with Amazon, which was helpful but overall very frustrating.

Good quality, no damage. Just what I needed for my Class. Interesting perspectives on the topics as well, pair this with a good teacher and you're going to have a lot of good information to take away.
