"The Verderber's have done it again. They have created an easy to understand, interesting, and engaging textbook that fits the bill for the interpersonal/public communication course. Tucked away in the chapter on relationships is a gem of a discussion about relationships that develop on the Internet. You can't go wrong with this one!"
