Why don't you give exact delivery time?

"This author has hit the proverbial nail on the head, sending much needed advice to speakers in the scientific community ? The material is organized in the manner of a handbook rather than textbook and is very browsable. With such a wealth of information in such a little book, it deserves a niche in the briefcase of all scientists and engineers interested in improving their public speaking skills."
