Climate Change and the Media brings together an international group
of scholars to discuss one of the most important issues in human
history: climate change. Since public understanding of the issue
relies heavily on media coverage, the media plays a pivotal role in
the way we address it. This edited collection - the first scholarly
work to examine the relationship between climate change and the
media - examines the changing nature of media coverage around the
world, from the USA, the UK, and Europe, to China, Australasia, and
the developing world. Chapters consider the impact of public
relations and fictional programming, the relationship between
public understanding and media coverage, and the impact of the
media industries themselves on climate change. At a time when
governments must take action to alleviate the catastrophic risk
that climate change poses, this collection expertly details the
pivotal role the media plays in this most fundamental of issues.
Managing Nervousness as a Public Speaker provides students with the
essential knowledge and tools required to not only understand their
own nervousness, but to leverage it to improve their public
speaking skills. The book begins by defining nervousness and
anxiety, then exploring how speakers can effectively leverage
anxiety to their benefit. Later chapters discuss the biology and
psychology behind nervousness, as well as their various triggers
and methods for overcoming them. The book also demonstrates how
meditation, deep breathing, and mindfulness can help public
speakers build confidence and calm nerves. Managing Nervousness as
a Public Speaker is ideal for courses in public speaking, but as
the material within the book is cross-disciplinary in nature, the
text could be used within any course where public speaking is
essential. The book can also be used by working professionals to
further develop their public speaking skills.
