Review # 1 was written on 2015-02-27 00:00:00 Patrick Lee This is an undergraduate level communications textbook that focuses in on the practical side of communications, meaning its applications in business, interpersonal communication, and professional settings generally. Its chapters include discussion of leadership and management theory, a light overview of communications theory, and in-depth discussion with tons of examples of communication in business, from meetings to negotiations, presentations to interviews. I read this for a graduate-level strategic communications course and was disappointed that it was basically written at an undergraduate level (as far as the assumptions the book makes about its readers). I won't fault the book for that though - my professor clearly chose the wrong book. I will, however, fault the book for having a ridiculous number of typos and errors. The editing is absolutely abysmal. This is the 7th edition - shouldn't all the errors have been caught by now? That said, I did think that the professional examples were very helpful and I was impressed with how up to date they were. Themes: communication, business, leadership, management
