About the Book

Written in a warm and lively style and packed with learning tools, The Basics of Communication offers an engaging look at the inseparable connection between relationships and communication. Steve Duck and David T. McMahan combine theory and application to introduce students to fundamental communication concepts. Their book also provides practical instruction on communicating interpersonally, in groups, in interviews and on making effective presentations. The authors encourage students to think critically, to link communication theory to their own experiences, and to improve their communication skills in the process.

About the Author :
David T. McMahan has taught courses that span the discipline of communication, including numerous courses in interpersonal communication and personal relationships, media and technology, communication education, theory, and criticism. McMahan s research interests also engage multiple areas of the discipline with much of his research devoted to bridging the study of relationships, technology, and media. This work encompasses discussions of media and technology in everyday communication, the incorporation of catchphrases and media references in everyday communication, and the relational aspects of the Internet and digital media. His diverse research experiences also include studies on symbolic displays of masculinity and violence in rural America, media-based political transformations of the world s nation-states, the reporting of mass-murder suicide in "The New York Times", and primetime animated series. In addition to authoring numerous books, his work has appeared in such journals as "Review of Communication, Communication Education, and Communication Quarterly", as well as edited volumes. A tremendously-active member of the discipline, McMahan s endeavors include serving on a number of editorial review boards, serving as editor of the" Iowa Journal of Communication", and serving as president of the Central States Communication Association. He has also received multiple awards for his work in the classroom and has been the recipient of a number of public service and academic distinctions, including being named a "Centennial Scholar" by the Eastern Communication Association. He hopes to someday win the singles championship at Wimbledon.
