Synopsis

Communication Yearbook, an annual review of current research published in cooperation with the International Communication Association, has become an indispensable resource for students and professionals in all areas of communication. This latest volume features an exciting `dialogue′ format: major contributions from leading scholars in a variety of communication fields are presented, and then criticised by other authorities (often representing complementary or competing schools of thought).

The first section considers such topics as power, discourse, motives, possibilities and stories in the workplace. The second section is devoted to interpersonal conversations, including arguments and negotiations. The concluding section focuses on mediated communication and investigates international information use, media industries, and media consumers. Commentaries on each chapter give a well-rounded, balanced picture of the state of current research, providing an invaluable research tool.
