TextPublisher: New York, NY : McGraw Hill, [2012]Copyright date: NEW YORK McGraw HILL 2012Edition: Eleventh editionDescription: xix, 520, A-5, I-28 pages : illustrationsISBN: 9780071086424; Subject(s): CommunicationDDC classification: P205 .S62 2012 Summary: "We've written 'A First Look' for students who have no background in communication theory. It's designed for undergraduates enrolled in an entry-level course, regardless of the students' classification. The trend in the field is to offer students a broad introduction to theory relatively early in their program. But if a department chooses to offer its first theory course at the junior or senior level, the course will still be the students' first comprehensive look at theory, so the book will meet them where they are. Our goal in this text is to present 33 communication theories in a clear and interesting way. After reading about a given theory, students should understand the theory, know the research that supports it, see useful applications in their lives, and be aware of the theory's possible flaws."--
