Publisher's Synopsis
This highly-regarded introduction to communication text offers a comprehensive blend of basic communication theory, research and skills, with a strong emphasis on relationship communication (social), workplace communication (career) and intercultural communication (culture).
Communicating introduces the basic principles of communication and applies them to interpersonal, group, interviewing, and public speaking contexts. The book stresses communication competence through boxed material, "Learn by Doing" skill-building activities, thought-provoking questions and self-assessment questionnaires. The new edition features an increased emphasis on electronicallymediated communication and the impact of technology on our daily communication, a significantly updated research base and a reorganization of the public speaking chapters.
