For all those who want their audiences to listen and understand, Forbes recommends Jeremy Bowen's Precision, Deftness, and a Calming Expertise. The Times praises the book for its ability to hold people's attention during presentations, unsure where to start when faced with writing an essay or report, and preparing for an interview and wondering how to get all their points across.

Explanation - identifying and communicating what we want to say - is an art. And the BBC presenter and journalist Ros Atkins, creator of the viral "Ros Atkins on..." explainer videos, is something of a master of the form. In this book, Ros shares the secrets he has learned from years of working in high-pressure newsrooms, identifying the ten elements of a good explanation and the seven steps you need to take to express yourself with clarity and impact.

Whether at work, school, university, or home, we all benefit from being able to articulate ourselves clearly. Filled with practical examples, The Art of Explanation is a must-read for anyone who wants to sharpen their communication skills.
