Understanding Human Communication

The tenth edition of Human Communication builds upon the approach that has worked for over a half million students and their professors in the past, making this book the market leader for introductory communication studies. The book first introduces the elements of communication, such as perception, language, listening, and nonverbal, then it turns to sections on interpersonal communication (a highlight in this book), small group communication, and public address. Ron Adler and George Rodman speak to students in a reader-friendly voice to give them the tools they need to master the course. They provide a wealth of examples to clearly illustrate concepts, and thoughtful pedagogy drawn from the latest media, culture, technology, and scholarship.
