Opis

This text explores ten great works, by well-known thinkers and orators, whose impact has been intellectual, practical, and global. Most of the works significantly precede public relations as a phrase or profession, but all are in no doubt about the force of planned public communication, and the power that lies with those managing the process. The works are stimulating and diverse and were written to address some of society's biggest challenges.
