Introduction to the World of Communication

Introduction to the World of Communication (Revised First Edition) Introduction to the World of Communication gives students a strong introductory foundation in communication skills. Many texts in the field focus on either fundamentals of communication or mass communication. This anthology addresses both and provides useful information about careers in the field. The book begins with an overview of the fundamentals of communication, moves into the history and development of communication media, and concludes with a survey of dominant communications professions. Topics include: - Language - Nonverbal Communication - Law and Ethics - Mass Communication - Emerging Technology - Interpersonal Communication Each chapter has tear-out reading questions that aid in evaluating progress with and completion of the readings as well as in preparing for exams. The discussion questions encourage dynamic classroom interaction. Introduction to the World of Communication can be used in Introduction to Human Communication courses, as well as Introduction to Mass Communication, and Introduction to Communication Studies.
