Review

"Right from the start I was drawn in through the use of humor. Who doesn't like a good joke? Even when the laughs stopped, I kept reading. The conversational style distinguishes Rothwell from most of the introductory texts I've read."--Robert E. Mild Jr., Fairmont State University"The subject or topic headings are eye-catching for each of the chapters. This suggests a more contemporary take on the traditional topics and incorporates a more current perspective."--Jason Teven, California State University, Fullerton"I really like this framework for teaching listening. I will use the ideas in my class. . . . Wonderful ways to teach and encourage critical thinking in a basic communication textbook!"--Kimberly Cuny, University of North Carolina at Greensboro "Right from the start I was drawn in through the use of humor.
