Editorial Reviews

Review

I am grateful to Randy for understanding the “art” of communication and compiling a truly valuable resource for teaching group communication. I will use this text in my consulting practice and recommend it to others facilitating communication courses. The new edition adds a number of valuable sections including, “Critically Thinking about Yourself as a Communicator,” and “Defensive verses Supportive Group Climates.” I look forward to incorporating this new material into my existing course curriculum.

excellent book
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2018

keeps things simple and straightforward, it is still accessible and engaging and it reads as coming from someone who actually practices what he is talking about; it has a lot of good tips for effective group discussion. downsides: avoids more detailed group theories/studies which would give it some more depth. i ordered the electronic version and i _really_ wish it had a table of contents--that is a weird and frustrating omission (i mean there is no table of contents and no index). also, you can't copy text from the electronic version. i get that they want to maintain their copyright protection but that is frustrating at times. that said, this is an affordable text that is well done. definitely will continue to use it.

I got a used book so I was not expecting it to be in a great condition, however, when I got it I was amazed. Aside from the highlights in some pages, it was like new. Also, I learned a lot from this book. This is a great book for anyone who wants to learn more about communication. It teaches important factors about communication and it teaches you how to communicate clearly. Overall, it was a great book, in a great condition.

This book was said to be like new and clearly it is not. Amazon Book Rentals should take this out of circulation. I will be sending it back.
