Book Overview
West and Turner's UNDERSTANDING INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION: MAKING CHOICES IN CHANGING TIMES, Enhanced Second Edition, empowers you by providing both the knowledge and practical skills you need to be effective communicators in today's rapidly changing and technologically advanced society. An innovative theory-skill framework, integrated in every chapter, uniquely combines theory and practice, eliminating the perceived division between them while clarifying their fundamental interconnections. The book powerfully supports skill development; rather than "telling" you how to communicate, the authors list a "toolbox" of key skills pertaining to each theory so you can actively choose and experiment with strategies appropriate for a given situation. Filled with realistic examples and scenarios that reflect the diversity and interactions of today's users, UNDERSTANDING INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION: MAKING CHOICES IN CHANGING TIMES, Enhanced Second Edition, makes clear connections between theory, skills, and the life situations we all encounter on a daily basis.

Great Text Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
My wife, who lectures part time at one of our local universities, bought this text for her undergraduate interpersonal communication class. The one thing I kept hearing her say was how she liked the way the book worked theory into practical examples using everyday language. It covered all required topics. She has asked the school to adopt it as the course text. That has to be a positive review.
A well-designed textbook

West and Turner's entry into the communication text market is one of the better options out there. The text is easy to read, even for students new to the concepts presented. The book gives plenty of examples to make sure the reader understands how the definitions fit into real-world situations, and the frequent use of topical graphics, charts and relevant comics ("Dilbert" and selections from "The New Yorker" among them) give the book a lighter tone, especially in jargon-heavy sections.
