Synopsis

This book offers a new, holistic approach to the field of communication by first explaining the basic processes central to all communication contexts (e.g., listening, perceiving, using verbal and nonverbal communication) and then applying these processes to various contexts (intrapersonal, interpersonal, groups and teams, organizations, interviews, public speaking, technologies of communication, and mass communication). The goal of the book is to provide readers with a clear understanding of the fundamental skills and processes that are a part of the broad array of communication encounters in personal, professional, and public life.
