Designed for hybrid communication courses, this approachable text features concise chapters that emphasize and clearly explain communication theory. Central to this title is the theme of dialogue, and educators can expect to create competent, dialogic communicators who can advocate ideas civilly, explain complicated subjects, and disagree without being disagreeable in a variety of interactive settings. The text has been recently updated based on student feedback, with improvements to readability and accessibility, and features a narrative that is inclusive and representative of today’s diverse range of students.
