A Handbook of Public Speaking for Scientists and Engineers helps scientists and engineers improve their skills at speaking in public in the course of their professional activities. The book shows how best to prepare papers for presentation at a technical conference and how to put cases to committee meetings. Not only does the book deal with specific events, but it also provides the techniques of more effective speaking, whether presenting papers, answering questions, or speaking "off-the-cuff." The book is written in a highly entertaining manner and should put all complacent lecturers on their guard. This is essential reading for every scientist and engineer called upon to speak in public on technical matters.

Industry Reviews

"The Barbaric Heart of an adolescent nation stews in its own entropy, and we wonder why the center does not hold. Our mind games stand behind the devastation of place and economy. I've been an admirer of Curtis White for many years, and this book is a brilliant summation of his message."
-James Howard Kunstler, Author of World Made By Hand and The Long Emergency

"Splendidly cranky."
-Molly Ivins

"Witheringly smart, grotesquely funny, grimly comprehensive, and so moving as to be wrenching."
-David Foster Wallace

"Refreshing malevolent irony . . . absolutely indispensable."
-Slavoj Zizek

"White brings a great light into the darkness that has descended
upon the hope of a decent American future."
-Lewis Lapham
