Swann's third edition of Cases in Public Relations Management is organized in such a way as to offer foundational knowledge of the broader field of PR and of the narrower topics of each chapter before diving into specific cases. The discussion questions in each chapter are certain to prompt critical thinking and deep class discussions. -- Emily S. Kinsky, West Texas A&M University
