A First Look at Communication Theory

Book is defiantly worn and has been used serval times. Most all the page edges have been folded or curled up from misuse. There is a lot of underlines with pen throughout book. So hopefully it serves it's purpose while I have it. but it would have been nice to receive a decent rental for the semester. There was no information about the rental issued, except it just wouldn't come with access codes.

I purchased this book as a requirement for graduate school. At first I dreaded reading it, like most do in school. I ended up using this book through my entire two years in school, and found it to be the most educational tool. The book was in amazing condition! I couldn't recommend this book enough. I will give everyone a warning: with every new addition, some of the theories are removed or added. The books website is amazing and has additional information.

Like many students, I don't like reading textbooks. However, this textbook was actually enjoyable to read. The way the theories are written is easy to understand and I like the personal examples the author gives. I usually hate reading theories since the way some are written can be very confusing, but again, these are easy to comprehend. Not to mention, the chapters are not very long compared to some other textbooks. This made reading the chapters for class nice, too. Short, sweet, and to the point.

complete up to date vision of communication theories and new perspectives in the field of communication. Although some of the new theories appear to be fillers for ones publishing requirements for tenure and dissertations. As a text book it is comprehensive but it appears that the field of communication studies has become a platform for every new fangle dangled theory ...one built upon another much like a house of cards just waiting for a steady breeze ....over all the text tries to cover all the new ideas being studied in this field. Well organized but some of the newer schools of thought would do well to be on stand by before calling it a theory....

One of the first text books I've actually read! Easy to understand and follow! Don't feel it had Been a waste of money at all! Fast shipping and love my Amazon Textbook Rental program!

Thank you Amazon!!! You literally saved my college experience! I purchased the wrong book (for international students outside of the US) and my classmate told me to look at the green book. I downloaded your PC kindle edition and rented this book. Thank you again.This is why I recommend everyone to shop on Amazon. This is the greatest and most rewarding experience ever!

I absolutely love this text book and I wish I didn't rent it because I would love to own it. It's interesting and it holds my attention. It talks about various theories and the communication field. It's also very informative

Used it for school. I got a BLol whatelse is there to say.

The content was not the problem. This new & expensive book, I had to buy for school, arrived with a creased & crumpled front & back cover. So much for resale when I finish the class.

price was right and quick delivery
