The importance of being other-oriented–being mindfully considerate of the thoughts, needs, and values of others– was the foundation of the first five Canadian editions of Interpersonal Communication: Relating to Others, and it continues as the central theme of the sixth Canadian edition. Updated to include new research, statistics and Canadian content, this edition offers exceptional coverage of diversity and an expanded discussion integrated throughout on technology’s impact on communication and its relevance to communication in students’ daily lives.
