Review "It is a 'pick-up-and-go' package where there is ample material provided to create effective learning environments. . . . The text provides students an easy yet effective treatment of the foundations of interpersonal communication.""This book has a smooth and conversational tone. The author uses personal examples that help to forge a connection between reader and writer, and there are a lot of examples (e.g., first-hand testimonials) from a wide variety of sources.""I chose Wood's text because it is one of the most up-to-date texts in the field. Julia T. Wood is one of the foremost scholars in the discipline, and through her research and work in the field, she stays abreast of the latest information.

Reviews
This book is essential to anyone who is taking an interpersonal communications course and it is also valuable to anyone whom is not a student and just interested in developing their communication skills. I am a Paralegal Student at Evergreen Valley College and this book was required for a class that I am taking. It is also helpful in my own personal life.
