Having had Mr. McLean as a teacher, I was able to enjoy his book even more than if I had just read it. While his book is easy to read and has real life examples of everyday communication, it was great to actually talk to him about what he had written. College books are usually pretty expensive and he made sure his was reasonably priced so all college students will have a chance to take a communication class and learn about what we all do everyday - communicate!
Fun to read for a textbook

This is the first textbook I've ever enjoyed reading. I didn't have to read it 100 times to understand it! I'm amazed at how communication is everywhere and the impact it has on my life. I learned a lot and look at things differently now.

It was really easy to read and get the main idea the first time around. The low price was cool too.

I have already begun to apply the ideas I have learned in communication to solve problems. The ideas, discussions and diagrams found in The Basics of Speech Communication will remain with me forever. In the beginning I was intimidated by the people who I thought were smarter than me. Now I understand that with effective communication skills those barriers won't stand in my way.
