Theorizing Communication: Readings Across Traditions

by Robert T. Craig (Editor ), Heidi L. Muller (Editor )

The selected readings illustrate the history of each tradition and current trends. Enhancing the readings are introductory essays and sets of projects for theorizing through which the editors highlight contemporary interpretations, new directions, and/or hybrid approaches to studying communication theory. Key Intended This volume is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in Communication Theory. It can be used as a stand-alone text or in conjunction with other books.

Read most of this for class. It had some pretty thought provoking readings; probably the best book I've been assigned in Communication so far.
