"Human Communication" is designed to make introductory communication studies immediate and relevant to students. Following their writing mantra, "Make it Smart. Keep it Real," the authors strike a practical balance of theory and everyday application. To "make it smart," they read hundreds of articles from mainstream communication journals.
