It begins with some of the basic rules of communicaions, covers how to appear on stage, how to present a talk, dealing with questions, how to chair a session. It also contains a couple of don't do's: 'How to Make a Mess with PowerPoint,' and 'How NOT to give a presentation.' This book is now in its second edition which allowed the individual chapter writers a chance to look over what they had written before and apply comments/questions from readers. The book is written in England by members of the medical profession, so once in a while a comment will sneak in that you may have to adjust to your own business.
