Title overview

Human Communication in Society presents a lively overview of the discipline that engages you in exploring the implications of communication in your daily life. Providing a balance between theory and applications, authors Jess Alberts, Thomas Nakayama and Judith Martin highlight the tension between individual and societal forces and encourage you to recognize the value of multiple perspectives in understanding communication.

The 6th Edition offers updated content including coverage of the communication challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. A new chapter on in-person conversation emphasizes the importance of conversational skills needed to complement the constant connectivity of interactive and social media.
