Review :
"I will surely adopt the new text because my students have gone on to finish undergraduate and graduate degrees largely because this book made learning communication theory enjoyable for them." "Overall, the scholarship is excellent for upper-level undergraduate courses and even some graduate courses. Students will appreciate the many website references throughout each chapter." "The main strengths of this text include superb organization, coverage, and writing. Also, detailed instructor's manual and online component to support teaching and learning are very laudable."
