520 3  The presentation of technical data is both an art form and
       a necessary part of any engineer's job. Most engineers are
       not anywhere near as conversant with the tools or nuances 
       of presenting technical data, particularly to an audience 
       of nontechnical persons, such as at a public meeting, a 
       meeting of a board of selectmen or aldermen, or at a city 
       council, for example. While it is vitally important to be 
       conversant with the technical details and background of 
       the data being presented, it is equally as important to be
       able to make the presentation as cogent and valuable to 
       the viewer as possible. This book addresses many of the 
       failings of technical presentations observed by the 
       authors over many years of practice. While not proffered 
       as an exhaustive dissertation of all possible issue or 
       problems, this book does touch upon the most important 
       aspects of technical presentations and the most common 
       errors made while making those presentations.
