THE ART OF PUBLIC SPEAKING

11th EditionStephen E Lucas, University of Wisc Madison2012 / 480 pagesISBN: 9780073406732ISBN: 9780071314671 [IE]Available: October 2011

www.mhhe.com/lucas11e

The Art of Public Speaking 11e continues to define the art of being the best by helping today’s students become capable, responsible speakers and thinkers. Throughout the program, students move from theory to practice to internalize the principles of public speaking, build confidence through speech practice, and prepare for success in the classroom and beyond. With the new Enhanced Speech Capture in Connect Lucas, instructors now have the ability to evaluate speeches live, in the classroom, using a customizable rubric. Instructors may also upload speech videos on students’ behalf and create and manage true peer review assignments. With its ground-breaking adaptive learning system, Connect Lucas™ also helps students “know what they know” while guiding them to experience and learn important concepts that they need to know for success now and in the future. With McGraw-Hill Create™ Reflow, instructors can now customize their Lucas 11e textbook to the section level, selecting and arranging only the sections covered in the course. The new Reflow system will automatically repaginate and re-number chapters, sections, graphs, and illustrations, based on how the instructor chooses to arrange them. This deep level of customization guarantees that students pay only for the content covered in the course.

NEW TO THIS EDITION

Hands-on assignments and activities in Connect Lucas help vlink public-speaking principles to the practice and application of those concepts. This fully revised iteration of Connect Lucas offers a wide range of assignable and assessable online activities: questions accompanying student speech videos, review questions and chapter quizzes, exercises for critical thinking, outlining and key terms exercises, online checklists and worksheets.

Enhanced Speech Capture v in Connect Lucas gives instructors the ability to evaluate speeches live using a fully customizable rubric. Instructors may also upload speech videos for the students, create and manage peer review assignments, and students may upload their own videos for self-review and/or peer review.

LearnSmart v , McGraw-Hill’s adaptive learning system, assesses student knowledge of course content and maps out a personalized study plan for success. Accessible within Connect, LearnSmart uses a series of adaptive questions to pinpoint the concepts students do understand—and those they don’t. The result is an online tool that helps students learn faster and study more efficiently, and that enables instructors to customize classroom lectures and activities to meet their students’ needs.

Online Media Library v of student speeches on Connect Lucas: 27 full student speeches (10 new to this edition), including 6 “Needs Improvement” versions (3 new to 11e), each accompanied by speech outlines, and more than 60 video clips (25+ new to this edition). The full student speeches are also available on DVD.

Coverage of persuasion has been improved and expanded. v Chapter 16, “Speaking to Persuade” now includes many new

examples and a new student speech with commentary. Chapter 17, “Methods of Persuasion” has been reorganized, revised, and expanded to offer more fallacies coverage and a new sample speech with commentary.

“Giving Your First Speech” v has been expanded to a full chapter (Chapter 4). A primary course aim is to assign first speeches as soon as possible in the semester—long before most of the principles of public speaking have been covered in class. This new chapter was created with this goal in mind to give students more help and support in getting started.

More on supporting ideas and source citation. v In response to requests from public-speaking instructors, who name proper source citation as one of the biggest challenges for public speaking students, Chapter 8 of this edition includes more coverage in this area, particularly on citing sources orally (and in the context of preparation and speaking outlines).

Using Visual Aids (Chapter 13) v has been fully revised to reflect the quick pace of changes to the existing technology. Among other changes, the popular PowerPoint appendix has been streamlined and integrated into the main chapter.

Effective main-text models and examples, updated in every vchapter. Nearly every page of The Art of Public Speaking has been revised to present relevant, easy-to-grasp, real-world models that speak to the newest generation of students: sample student topics, specific purpose statements, central ideas, and main points; models of effective introductions and conclusions; student speech outlines; examples of vivid and concrete language; extracts from speeches by public figures, professionals, and other real people in real-world contexts; and a range of clear and effective visual aids—photos, models, objects, graphs and charts, PPTs, video.

Clear connection between public speaking principles and vreal-world relevance and application—from classroom to career. Revised and improved “Applying the Power of Public Speaking” activity boxes place students in realistic, professional scenarios that make use of public speaking, and help them make the leap from classroom to career.

McGraw-Hill conducted extensive market research with over 4,000 students to gain insight into their studying and buying behavior. Students told us they wanted more portable texts with innovative visual appeal and content that is designed according to the way they learn.

Communicating in Groups offers a concise, step-by-step introduction to the theory and practice of small group communication and teaches students to develop and apply critical thinking skills in group problem-solving situations. The book continues to synthesize current small group theory and research while presenting the material in a practical and accessible manner for students interested in the dynamics of small group communication. The eighth edition marks the first time two central chapters on communication are integrated into one chapter, capturing key principles of both verbal and non-verbal small group behavior within a new definition of communication. With the firm belief that group participation can be an uplifting, energizing experience, authors Kathy Adams and Gloria Galanes give students the tools they will need to achieve this outcome. Research and theory are presented with a focus on what is important to students—understanding their group experiences and making them effective communicators.

This text encourages students to be active media consumers and gives them a deeper understanding of the role that the media play in both shaping and reflecting culture. Through this cultural perspective, students learn that audience members are as much a part of the mass communication process as are the media producers, technologies, and industries. This was the first, and remains the only, university-level text to make media literacy central to its approach, and given recent national and global turmoil, its emphasis on media use and democracy could not be more timely.

MEDIATING POLITICS

Newspapers, Radio, Television and the InternetNeil Washbourne, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK2010 (April 2010)/ 192 pagesISBN: 9780335217595 (Paperback)ISBN: 9780335217601 (Hardback)

This book explores the complex interconnections between media, political organization and society. It focuses in particular on the way new technology poses problems, but also offers potentialities and solutions. Particular attention is paid to various political uses of the internet. Using accessible case studies, the author closely analyses how political parties, pressure groups, governments and social movements explore and develop the range of media forms and rhetorics and assesses the consequences this has for political life. The book argues that key versions of the ‘end of politics’ thesis are simply too pessimistic about what we can hope for from the future and imply an unrealistic nostalgia about the past. Rather it puts the media-politics relationship into the broader context of a culturally complex and changing contemporary information society.

CONTENTS

Are we witnessing the ‘end of politics’?Marketing politics: Parties, leaders and governments in contemporary mediated politicsThe media-politics relations in national contexts: Comparing the press, radio and television in the UK, US and IndiaMediating governance: Problems of political and cultural representation in a complex worldExploring the contemporary audiences of mediated politicsThe internet, politics and political change‘Conclusion: The end of the beginning’: They always mediate politics, don’t they?

UNDERSTANDING THE LOCAL MEDIAMeryl Aldridge, University of Nottingham, UK2007 / 208 pagesISBN: 9780335221721 (Paperback)

Most adults in the UK read a local newspaper; regional news bulletins are among the mostwatched on television; and local radio has a loyal following. Even though the majority of political and economic decisions affecting daily life are taken far away and are shaped by global processes, their impact is experienced locally. But despite being both popular and politically important, local media are often overlooked on media-related courses and in discussions of the role of the media in contemporary society. Understanding the Local Media addresses this gap by explaining how regional newspapers and broadcast news are owned, regulated and organized; how these factors produce the outputs we see and hear; what we know of audiences’ attitude to them; and discusses local media as places of work.

DOMESTIC CULTURESJoanne Hollows, Nottingham Trent University, UK2008 / 208 pagesISBN: 9780335222537 (Paperback)ISBN: 9780335222544 (Hardback)

This accessible, student-friendly and interdisciplinary introduction to domestic cultures surveys and synthesizes a range of approaches to demonstrate why home is central to media and cultural studies. Joanne Hollows challenges a range of ideas about domestic culture. She examines how the meanings of domestic life are produced across a range of discourses and practices, from architecture, lifestyle media and advertising to home decoration, cooking and watching television. Hollows argues that while the values associated with domestic cultures are often seen as the opposite of those associated with the public sphere, this opposition between public and private is never clear-cut.

RADICAL CONSUMPTION IN CONTEMPORARY CULTUREJo Littler, Middlesex University, UK2008 / 208 pagesISBN: 9780335221523 (Paperback)ISBN: 9780335221530 (Hardback)

The increasingly conspicuous problems of contemporary consumerism, namely social exploitation and environmental destruction, has led to an increase in ‘alternative’ consumer practices. Fair trade, consumer protests, brand backlashes, green goods and boycotts have all become almost mainstream. This book suggests that we can understand this phenomenon as an expanding field of ‘radical consumption’, in which we are increasingly encouraged to shop for change. By examining their practices, precedents and politics, the book asks: just how radical are these forms of ‘radical consumption’? Jo Littler takes an interdisciplinary approach to examining contemporary radical consumption, analysing its possibilities and problems, methods of mediation and its connections to wider cultural formations of production and politics.

Each initial chapter introduces the work of a key critical theorist, such as Benjamin, Kracauer or Marcuse. The alternate chapters introduce a corresponding contemporary theme and writer, explaining how the original work can be considered today, the relevance it has for today’s theorists and how the successors have developed this thinking. This is a key text for students of cultural studies and sociology which shows that critical theory is needed now just as much as it was then.
