What's New
In response to reviewers and focus group participants, content has been updated throughout the text to reflect contemporary thinking in communication studies.
New Skill-builders feature calls on students to practice communication competencies.
New Myths, Metaphors, and Misunderstandings feature encourage students to think about the influence of cultural values on our understanding of communication and communication behaviors.
Revised chapters 8 and 10, Interviewing and Communicating at Work were rewritten to support the desire for resources to be related to the reality of students' lives--many students work while in college and many are already in the process of their careers.
McGraw-Hill’s original video series "Communicating Everyday" and "Reel Interpersonal" represent key concepts of communication in the format of a contemporary television drama series. Scripted by the text authors, "Communicating Everyday" brings important communication models to everyday life. In addition, full student speech videos are available to illustrate the various presentation techniques and elements of a speech.
