Laying the foundation for an integrated approach that touches on public relations advertising and direct mail, this second edition is divided into four parts. Part I deals with principles of effective writing useful in all disciplines. Part II focuses on news as the bridge an organization can build to its various publics. Part III takes you through a variety of writing formats and environments that provide an internal or controlled approach. Part IV is the wrap up that pulls together the various writing styles presented in this book as part of an integrated communication package.

Becoming a Public Relations Writer is a different kind of textbook for college and university students. It provides writing instruction for people preparing to enter the profession and guides students with models and step-by-step patterns designed to increase competence and build confidence in students on their way to becoming public relations writers.

Concise information.......2006-06-26

This booklet is quick and to the point with great starter drawing activities. It is a bit pricey for the number of pages, but overall a good little book.

A Must have for all trainers and public presenters........2002-02-10

This is a book about communicating visually and drawing for those of us who do not know how to draw. Excellent. Simple. Straight-forward and fun. By the fourth of the fifth page, you're itching to try some of these pictograms and reaching for the nearest pencil, you will not need paper because there's plenty of white space provided for just that purpose!

If you think of yourself as someone who can't draw or if you believe that you are 'artistically-challenged' then go ahead and buy this book. By the end you will be able to draw a lot of things - different types of smileys all the way to government buildings and a 'future' pictogram.

The graphics that the authors teach you are carefully picked to suit a variety of business situations and provide a wonderful resource that should be kept on every public presenter and trainer's bookshelf.

For the want of a graphics department...........2004-09-04

I just received the new latest version of this book - August, 2004. The book succeeds in showing good and bad examples of the same presentations, but that doesn't require a book. It requires a graphics department. Nowhere does the book tell you how to make any of the charts. In today's world, many of us must create our own presentations with whatever is available, usually Excel or Powerpoint or similar tools.

I would also offer that most readers will not work through the exercises, as the percentage of our jobs that requires chart development is usually small. I grasped the basics of the book quickly. Keep it simple. I will assume that certain professionals, such as those in marketing or sales or executives giving a presentation to the board of directors, might need this level of specialization, but I find little useful in the book. Following the guideline of 'keep it simple', I will simplify my priorities, by focusing on other skills mastery. Mastering charts to this degree is beyond my needs.

The books was in perfect conditions, but it did not come with the computer Key. I had alot of trouble because of that.

Still One of the Most Useful Texts Available.......2006-06-15

This earlier edition is still, I would say, one of the most useful texts available in this area.

Review of Chez Nous.......1998-10-21

I find that this first-year college level French text to be an adequate introduction to the language. I expecially appreciate the wide-array of authentic examples of francophone culture presented throughout the text. It is through these examples, that the student is able to apply to concepts and vocabulary in everyday situations. My only complaint with the book is the fact that in several of the short essays, many words are introduced but without any translations either in the essay or the glossary. Many times this is frustrating to students. However, the cassette tapes that accompany the text are a beneficial tool to the mastery of proper pronunciation.
