    "This textbook is a strong tool for those seeking to enhance their abilities as a public speaker. The authors present valuable material and relatable examples that students will understand. The use of "classical concepts" is a triumph as we attempt to introduce students to ancient rhetorical theory. This is the very best textbook that I have utilized in my advanced public speaking classroom." - Douglas Marshall, Southern University at New Orleans
