Introducing Communication by Amardo Rodriguez

Introducing Communication by Amardo Rodriguez

The study of communication deepens our understanding of the human condition, enlarges how we frame and resolve human problems and struggles, and allows us to appreciate the different perspectives that communication brings to the study of the human experience. Introducing Communication provides an overview of eight different communication perspectives and explores important concepts from around the world, highlighting the consequences and implications that come with diverse ways of defining, understanding, and studying communication. Featuring discussions on issues and challenges associated with mass globalization and new technologies, this smart and sophisticated text encourages students to reflect on how these consequences and implications come to bear on how we live and communicate. Introducing Communication is ideally suited for instructors who teach introductory communication courses and are seeking a text that is theoretically rigorous, intellectually expansive, and pedagogically elegant.

"Media and communication scholars come from a wide range of backgrounds and focus on varied fields, so designing a curriculum for university students is no easy taskA key question that has no easy answer is: what is foundational knowledge? This clearly written, succinct, and yet surprisingly thorough textbook on communication would be of great help to those of us grappling with this question."
