Review # 1 was written on 2014-12-20 00:00:00 Maurizio Scaramelli At first glance, this looks like a standard book on communications, perhaps for managers or the commercial market. The subtitle, however, indicates that maybe it is an academic book. In fact it is somewhere in between, or maybe both. With 542 pages, including 64 pages of references, it is no lightweight. The topics covered are solid set of fundamentals, with full chapters on each of: Nonverbal communications Rewarding and reinforcing Questioning Reflecting Listening Explaining Self-disclosure Set induction and closure Assertiveness Influence and persuasion Negotiation Groups and group interaction What is really nice is the high level of strong content. Rather than motherhood-and-apple-pie that is often found in books on communications, this text is based on solid and well-referenced research. The book is written in clear language with a straightforward layout. There are a number of tables, but no diagrams. Visuals would have been nice, but the solid text means these were not particularly missed. The balance of a strong academic foundation and clear writing makes this book ideal for both students and practitioners who are seeking a strong general text on the subject of interpersonal communication. In short: Solid meat from cover to cover.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-02-21 00:00:00 Nancy White Nice book for a non-expert in the field like me, introducing the most important topics on interpersonal communications, with thousands of references if you want to deep in, but with enough details if you just want to skim over this topic
