Synopsis

The tenth edition of Interplay continues the winning method of combining a readable, usable approach to interpersonal communication that students appreciate, with a solid foundation of research that professors know is essential in an academic study of the field. This introductory text presents current communication scholarship while showing the reader how principles of interpersonal communication operate in daily life. The book's lively four colour design makes the design more inviting to both students and professors, while increasing its emphasis on theory and research.

About this title

Review

"This text is so enjoyable to read and covers most of the major principles so well. The real kicker is that the students tell me they refuse to sell it back after the end of the semester because they think it will be useful during the rest of their lives. That's quite a recommendation."--Beverly Kelly, California Lutheran University"I am impressed that, unlike many books in this category, Interplay presents a rather sophisticated review of communication theories for the introductory audience. Most importantly, this book does not treat the reader like a juvenile--the reviews of theories are cogent, yet assume that the readers are adults and are able to relate the material to their own experiences."--Jennifer Samp, University of Georgia "This text is so enjoyable to read and covers most of the major principles so well.
