Reviews

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.


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.
