Features: I have found on more than one occasion that students with some background knowledge—particularly upper-level undergraduates and graduate students—especially appreciate the clarity of this book. The seventh edition continues to maintain a high standard of reader orientation. This book is not written for beginners who know nothing about communication theory. Although I could "lower" the writing to this basic level, upper-level undergraduates and graduate students need a textbook that provides an overview of communication theory. This book, Human Communication Theory, aims to provide these students with a high-quality textbook to help them complete their undergraduate studies and prepare them for graduate-level work. Among the vast array of communication literature, this book stands out as a superior work. Since its first edition in 1987, it has now been updated to the seventh edition. For a discipline like communication, which emerged after World War II, an academic work maintaining a top spot on "bestseller lists" for 25 consecutive years speaks for itself in terms of its status and value.
