For over three decades, this has been the bestselling text for the Human Communication course. Understanding Human Communication is
written with one goal in mind: to provide students with the insights
and skills to succeed in our changing world. Fully updated and expanded
to include more information on culture and communication, gender and
communication, and the effects of technology and social media on
communication, this twelfth edition also features two new types of
boxes, "Understanding Diversity" and "@Work," as well as new annotated
sample speeches.
