Human Communication in Society

by Jess K. Alberts, Thomas K Nakayama, Judith N. Martin

Updated in its 3rd edition, Human Communication in Society is the only text to explore the interplay between the individual and society and its impact on communication. By understanding how the tensions among individual forces, societal forces, cultures, and contexts shape communication and meaning, readers become more ethical and effective communicators. Alberts, Nakayama, and Martin wrote Human Communication in Society to bring a comprehensive, balanced view to the study of human communication.

I will not be shamed for using my textbooks to count towards my reading goal

This is an excellent, informative textbook that provides a strong foundation for communication... that is $90. While I would recommend this for an entry level university communications class, this is going to be cost-prohibitive for many students.
