Description: The third edition of Human Communication is an engaging reflection of the contemporary field of communication studies. The authors� writing mantra ("Make It Smart; Keep It Real") leads to a text that strikes a practical balance of definitive content and everyday application. To "make it smart," the authors read hundreds of articles from mainstream communication journals. To "keep it real," the authors synthesized their findings so that they resonate with the challenges and goals of today's typical basic course. Every chapter features skill-building, critical thinking, innovative pedagogy, 21st century examples, and lively writing that is respectful of the student reader.. .

Details: As a college student, I have to say that to find a good deal on textbooks is not easy. The book I purchased was a used textbook that was a lot cheaper here than if I were to have purchased it used at the campus bookstore. It was shipped very quickly. I am very happy. Thanks for saving me some money!
Review Summary: Excelling Introduction to Communication.

Details: Similar to the review below, I find this book invaluable every time I teach COMS 101 or its equivalent. Not only does the book offer a wealth of information pertaining specifically to the study and field of Communication, but it offers a great deal of visceral information to supplement its core material interesting anecdotes and digressions. The supplemental material proves to be useful in *waking students up* to the lectures at hand.
Review Summary: Love this book!

Details: I have read earlier books by Pearson--they were good, but this book is spectacular. As a classroom teacher, I appreciate the supplements that come with the book. My students responded very well to the first six chapters and to the public speaking chapters.
