Description
Written for the introductory communication course, this book discusses communication principles, interpersonal communication and public speaking in an engaging and accessible manner. The authors' approach encourages students to use their understanding of communication as a means to explore how social diversity, a sense of ethics, technology and critical thinking skills influence the nature of communication experiences. A new running glossary throughout the text helps students identify key terms. New boxes called "E-Search" give students the opportunity to consider how technological innovations are changing communication. The new Communication Works CD-ROM 1.0 is fully integrated with the textbook. Icons in the margins guide students to various interactive tools.
