Synopsis:

Julia Wood, a leading scholar in the field of communication, brings us a new and extensively updated edition of "Communication Mosaics: An Introduction to the Field of Communication". This seventh edition retains the author's signature first-person narrative style and holistic approach to the field of communication by first explaining the basic processes central to all communication contexts (listening, perceiving, using verbal and nonverbal communication, establishing climate), and then applying these processes to various contexts (interpersonal, small group, public, organizational, intercultural, mass communication, and personal and social media). Through reviewer and student-praised "Student Voices" features, seamless and thoughtful integration of diversity, skill-building pedagogy, and real-life examples, the text builds each student's communication skills while providing a foundational survey for the discipline. Expose your students to the vast world of communication and give them the tools they need to become effective communicators in the twenty-first century with "Communication Mosaics: An Introduction to the Field of Communication, Seventh Edition".
