This popular, comprehensive introduction to speech communication skillfully blends theory, current research and skills, while emphasizing the connections between communication and our daily lives. Unique in its integrated "connections" theme and streamlined pedagogy, this book introduces the basic principles of public speaking, interpersonal communication and group communication. The constant application of a solid theoretical foundation to everyday communication through relevant examples, thought-provoking questions and boxed features stress Communication Competence. New and strengthened pedagogy highlights and reinforces the "connections" theme throughout the book, demonstrating how communication connects us to each other in a variety of contexts: the workplace, family, friends, community, school, public communication settings, the Internet and across cultures.

Summary: Great intro to Communications
Comment: This is a great introductory book to communications. It scratches the surface of the subject but still educates the reader in practically every area of communication such as: Preparing and outline for a speech, Manage Speech Anxiety, Informative Speaking, Persuasive Speaking and much more. I recommend this text for any student wishing to introduce themselves to the wonderful field of communications.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Drivel!
Comment: This is the most long-winded book I have ever read and is thus a good example of how not to communicate. Big words are used to obfuscate simple ideas and puff up the subject into a bloated, self-important, unnecessary load of drivel. Look out - it gets worse: If your Speech Communication teacher likes this book it probably means you have to pretend to be left-wing to get a good grade.
