Publisher's Synopsis
Neither a text nor a scholarly tome, this short book is like a blueprint, showing how to examine and to build healthy Conversations of all types and in all settings. In under fifty pages, its thirty sections move from basic elements, to principles and practice, and on to the ethics of communication. Useful as a supplement, as a stand-alone guide, or even as an analytical tool for examining private and public talk, From Parlor to Public Square engages readers, prompting them to remember, to improve, and to refresh their own interactions.
