About this title

Review:

A solid college level textbook written at an appropriate level for students to understand and apply. With some updated citations and adoption of lively, applicable examples, this text should be highly competitive with others on the market. (Kimberly Batty-Hebert, South Florida State College)

In the Company of Others is the best organized, most informative intro to communication studies textbook around. Written by a gifted teacher in an honest, lively, and personal style, it features surprising insights and intriguing examples. Rothwell has an admirable sense of humor. (Lawrence MacKenzie, Community College of Philadelphia)

If you are looking for a text that approaches the course from a multicultural perspective, a social constructionist perspective, or perhaps even a critical perspective, this is the text for you. (Steve Stogsdill, Hardin-Simmons University)

I would say that this textbook offers a compelling take on basic communication concepts and theories, chock full of timely examples and relevant topics. I really like the assessments and end-of-chapter discussion questions. (Jaime Bochantin, DePaul University)
