  Summary

This contributed text introduces students to primates through 34 essays written expressly for this volume by experts in their research areas.

  • Currency- The contributing experts provide up-to-date information on their varied areas of expertise.
  • Flexibility- This collection can be tailored to courses organized either by topics or by taxa. The articles will hold the interest of beginning students, and primate taxa are introduced in a complete section.
  • Integrative approach- By mixing paradigms, styles, and levels of analysis, this reader reflects the growth and diversification of the field of primate studies.
  • Abundant pedagogical support- This collection includes illustrations, a glossary, a distribution map of primates, a topical table of contents, an index, an extensive bibliography, part and article introductions, and a 16-page full-color portfolio of primates.Between One and Many presents public speaking as a living and dynamic transaction in which the meaning of the message emerges from the relationship between the speaker and the audience. The goal of this approach is to get students to think critically about their communication as well as to emphasize the importance of considering the audience in speech preparation.
  • This text covers both the art and the science of public speaking by focusing on the rhetorical principles as well as contemporary communication research.
  • The text's emphasis on audience-focused speaking is highlighted by the "Focusing on your Audience" section in the beginning of most chapters.
  • Extensive coverage of critical thinking throughout the text.
  • A complete chapter on speech anxiety and how to manage it.
  • An integrated instructional videotape, designed as a visual study guide for students, reinforces the concepts in the text.
  • Chapter 7 provides a more detailed description of the tools of the Internet, including an extensive discussion on how to critically evaluate the reliability of the information online.
  • Chapter 11 provides extensive coverage of how to use computers to generate visual aids.
  • Chapter 14 has been revised to include a thorough description of the role critical thinking plays in persuasion.
  • Issues of diversity are discussed throughout the text and Chapter 5 devotes increased coverage to audience diversity. New boxes called "Considering Diversity" are interspersed throughout the text.
  • New sample speeches are provided throughout the text.
