An Introduction to Communication

Prioritizing brevity and clarity, this textbook introduces the study of communication through examples and applications in a variety of contexts.

With a unique focus on diversity and the impact of culture, each chapter opens with a case study that identifies a communication challenge which the chapter addresses throughout, and concludes with questions that respond to that challenge. A consistent, organized structure with numerous features including Questions for Understanding and Analysis, Theoretical Insight (examining a particular relevant theory), and a Skill Set section, easily guides you through the foundations of the study of communication. The Connections feature cross-references between chapters demonstrating the multidimensional nature of communication. The Everyday Talk sections demonstrate how each topic relates to technology, the workplace, or health issues.

Offering a wealth of diverse examples from students' personal, professional, and online lives, this book teaches skills allowing students from all academic backgrounds to understand communication.
