Excerpt from Oral Communication of Technical InformationThe purpose in writing this book was to assemble, organize and make available the information that will help technical people tell things well and to emphasize the fact that most of us need such help. The central thought has been on help, and how to do it. Learn ing to speak more effectively is, of necessity, a do-it yourself project.The book should be useful to students, to young and old practicing scientists and engineers and to others in non-technical fields because, although the emphasis is on technical information, many of the techniques described in the book apply to all speaking situations. Hence, this book should be useful as a text and refer ence in courses of instruction in schools, universities and industry.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
