Review
"The fact that I've been using Making Connections since 1996 shows that it meets my needs and, more importantly, those of our students. . . . The strengths include the wide range of authors, the flexibility of each new edition to incorporate new research and new scholars, and the emphasis on relational contexts instead of the usual canon of chapters on 'the self' and 'nonverbal communication.'"--Bryan Crow, Southern Illinois University-Carbondale
"The chapters are very readable, even for undergraduates who have little or no experience reading primary texts, making it a great introduction to BOTH interpersonal communication and academic writing. I also really appreciate that the chapters focus on very specific topics and are written by leading researchers in that particular area--this is a key strength of the book!"--Melissa Broeckelman-Post, Ohio University
