From the Back Cover

Praise for Beebe, Beebe, and Ivy's Communication: Principles for a Lifetime 2nd Edition

“lThis book has it all-mention of culture, of technology, skills orientation, good learning tools, and appropriate reading level.” -Leonard Assante, Volunteer State Community College

“The most unique design incorporated into this textbook is the pentagon model or five fundamental principles. The model introduces and then reinforces the precepts upon which effective/competent communication is built. Finally, some ethical or moral standards for students to contemplate in the current world order.” -Debra Sue Wyatt, South Texas Community College

“The writing is clear and concise an yet still involves the student's imagination by using interesting current examples and posing ethical issues for consideration.” -Annette Folwell, University of Idaho

Excitement for the 1st Edition

“I like the approach of the five principles of communication to organize some of the fundamentals of communication. They organize fundamentals such as nonverbal, language, perception and the self in a manner I've not seen in other introductory communication texts...The combination of areas under each principle helps to accomplish the authors' goal of a more manageable amount of material for survey of communication.” -Elizabeth Lindsey, New Mexico State University

“It was a pleasure reading this text. Its conversational tone and use of contemporary examples make it approachable to students.” -Timothy P. Mottet, Southwest Texas State University

“This is an impressive text. The authors have done a good job of condensing the vast amount of information related to communication studies into a manageable and cohesive text.” -Phil Hoke, The University of Texas at San Antonio

“The five basic principles give the book cohesiveness. Each chapter is clearly related to the overriding principles of effective communication stressed in the text. The more I read, the more I appreciated the effectiveness of this organizational strategy.” -Carol L. Hunter, Brookdale Community College

Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
