Galvin and Cooper have assembled an anthology that both covers the
breadth and diversity of interpersonal communication and grounds that
diversity in a central dynamic between three themes: fundamental
elements of interaction; central theories of communication, perception
and meaning; and recurrent, significant social variables that affect
perception and relationships in crucial ways. --Stephen
A. Klien, Augustana College
The Fourth Edition has been updated, expanded, and reorganized to reflect the changing field of relational communication. New essays address emerging topics such as anti-comforting messages, friendship in urban tribes, and discourse-dependent families. The new edition also contains a new section on the "dark side" of communication with articles on topics such as lying and irresolvable conflicts. Three out of four of the essays in the technology section are new, reflecting current thinking in Internet-based interpersonal relationships, communication norms in an online support group, and how student use of technology challenges existent communication theories. A complete subject index has been added. The book also features a new accompanying Instructor's Manual. The Fourth Edition continues to:
