Readers develop a strong foundation in communication concepts, theory, and research, as well as practical communication skills such as listening, critical thinking, using technology to communicate, understanding nonverbal communication, creating persuasive strategies, and managing group conflict. The highly anticipated Third Edition also introduces readers to important emerging areas in communication studies, offering unique chapters on health communication and family communication. Ideal for the digital age, this book provides up-to-date insight into the communication topics central to everyday life and reaches students through its personable and approachable style with direct examples applying communication research to their own lived experiences.
