Human Communication in Society (5th edition)

An overview of communication that balances social and individual factors – Human Communication in Society 5th edition () presents a lively overview of the discipline that engages college students in exploring the implications of communication in their everyday lives. Providing a balance between application and theory, authors Jess Alberts, Judith Martin, and Thomas Nakayama highlight the tension between societal and individual forces and encourage communication students to recognize the value of multiple perspectives in understanding communication. Fifth Edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest research and include expanded coverage of LGBT voices and social media. Human Communication in Society 5e is intended for the survey of the Human Communication course. This course covers multiple subfields of communication and presumes little if any, public speaking assignments. Based on the feedback from over 100 faculty reviewers and over 2,000 college students who class-tested the manuscript, Human Communication in Society fifth edition is the only textbook to show how the interplay between society and individuals impacts communication. Understanding how the tensions among individual forces, cultures, societal forces, and context shape communication and meaning makes students much more ethical and effective communicators.
