Review: This book began as a course in the Department of Physics at Oxford University where students were asked to prepare 10-minute presentations on a subject of their choice. The aim was to get the message across clearly and effectively. This book takes the reader through the process of presenting science to a wide variety of audiences. It covers: the preparatory work; the structure of the presentation; identifying the context of the presentation; style; and preparation and presentation. This book is particularly suitable for younger scientists, at the start of their careers who want to learn how to sell themselves in talks that they give.
