"Healthy debate is integral to society. A democracy can only thrive when its citizens engage in open and honest dialogue. In Why Debate: Transformed by Academic Discourse, Shawn F. Briscoe and a diverse group of individuals introduce readers to academic, competitive debate in our secondary schools and institutions of higher learning. Over the course of twenty chapters, the authors examine the role academic debate plays in relationships, academic achievement, careers, professional life, and engaged citizenship. The authors highlight the significance the activity has, not just on those who engage in it, but upon people everywhere. Competitive debate serves as a foundation for growth as students learn to navigate through society, form relationships, and develop the skills they need to succeed in college and beyond. Those who participate in the activity develop skills and dispositions that help them succeed in their chosen professions. Ultimately, debate makes people aware of what needs changed in the world and gives them the ability to effect meaningful change. The author provides two additional resources at the end of the book for those who are not familiar with the activity, have been away from the activity for several years, or simply wish to learn more about academic debate. First, the author provides a description of various debate organizations with links to their websites. Second, the author provides a glossary of debate terms used by the contributors. A minimum of 50% of the profits from this work will be used to support debaters, debate programs, and/or debate organizations."--Amazon.com.

In his years of research and practice, David has discovered seven fundamental principles of illusion. With these rules anyone can learn to:Mind the Gap: recognize and employ the perceptual space between your audience's ability to see and their impulse to believe.Load Up: prepare to amaze your audience.Write the Script: discover the importance of shaping the narrative that surrounds your illusion.Control the Frame: explore the real-life value of a magician's best friend: misdirection.Design Free Choice: command your audience by giving them agency.Employ the Familiar: take secret advantage of habits, patterns, and audience expectations.Conjure an Out: develop backup plans that will keep you one, two, three, or more steps ahead of the competition.Inside Spellbound you'll discover a different way to sell your ideas, products, or skills, and make your best shot better than everyone else's.

Students of public speaking continually ask, "How can I overcome self-consciousness and the fear that paralyzes me before an audience?" The authors answer, "How would you cure a horse that is afraid of cars--graze him in a back-woods lot where he would never see automobiles, or drive or pasture him where he would frequently see them? Practice, practice, PRACTICE in speaking before an audience will tend to remove all fear of audiences, just as practice in swimming will lead to confidence and facility in the water. You must learn to speak by speaking. But how shall you be able to criticize yourself? Simply by finding out three things: What are the qualities that make an effective speaker; how at least some of these qualities be acquired; and what wrong habits of speech work against acquiring and using the qualities you find to be good." This thorough, helpful, encouraging book will enable the aspiring speaker to do all three.

Before becoming President of the United States, John Quincy Adams was a Harvard professor of language, rhetoric and oratory, with this book comprising his lectures.Published in 1810 when Quincy Adams was in his forties, this work is a collection which demonstrates the breadth of knowledge which he passed to students eager to learn about the arts of speaking. The early lectures cover the basic principles of oratory and eloquence in the context of public speaking, and the origins of rhetoric as a celebrated art form in ancient Greece and Rome. It is clear that the author possesses an intense knowledge of the subject and its professional application.Later on in the text are more specific lectures, such as the importance of perfecting oratory for the courtroom, and the personal qualities a good speaker should cultivate. Keeping tight control of one's emotions when speaking or debating with others, and delivering compelling lectures from the church pulpit, are also discussed at length. Although this material is well over 200 years old with much of the language archaic by modern standards, the ideas and principles espoused by Quincy Adams remain both relevant and important to students and those working in fields where speech is vital.

The book assesses rhetorical stylistic choices of public figures in a representative democracy, referencing over 20 notable Australians from the 1890s to modern times.
