"""Communicating About Health is one of the most thorough and complete textbooks in this growing subfield of study. Its breadth of coverage is not matched by other texts in the area. The book has a solid blend of both theory and practice, and the examples are timely, fresh, and engaging.""--Geoffrey D. Klinger, DePauw University ""This is a well-rounded text for the course. It does a great job of addressing the necessary topics to introduce students to the field of health communication. The book also provides excellent multimedia examples and gives great real-world examples throughout.""--Brian Rogers, University of Wisconsin Whitewater ""The writing is accessible and the use of multiple examples allows for a deeper understanding of the issues. The author draws on recent, relevant sources to add to the discussion and includes a variety of discussion questions to get readers to connect what they are reading to their own experience.""--Jen Anderson, Bellevue College"
