Public speaking is an art and not many people excel in it. For most of them, public speaking is a more terrifying activity than death itself. Public speaking can be mastered by using the proper speech skills. Stephen E. Lucas, a professor of Communications Art at the University of Wisconsin, has written several books on the subject. He has introduced public speaking courses for the past 25 years at the university. The professor has received many teaching awards, one of them being the Chancellor’s award for Excellence in Teaching. He has also been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.

Additionally, an online system has been put in place to complement the book.
