Top Seller for A Reason

This book is one of the top selling introduction to communication studies textbook on the market. The readable style, constant updates, latest information about technology, and strong instructional support make this an excellent choice for any introductory course. You will find information about perception, self-concept, interpersonal communication, public communication, and organizational communication. There's an emphasis on pragmatic skills, which people can use. An excellent overview by some of the best authors in the field of communication studies.

Great, general overview of communication

To correct the review written by "goose," the point of this book is not to give you tips on being a better speaker. If that's what you're looking for, then you should look for books that deal with speaking (and there ARE in fact lots of books that can give you tips on how to be a better speaker). However, anyone who's ever thought about it for more than 3 seconds can tell you that communicating is about much more than giving speeches. This book is a clear, general introduction to basics of communicating interpersonally, in groups, and public settings.
