This fresh and exciting new text provides a critical/cultural introduction to communication. Using a unique blend of narrative and contemporary theory, the authors place all communication in context and culture. They frame public speaking as public advocacy, showing students how civic engagement can better our communities. By situating communication concepts and theories within contemporary and engaging cultural scenes, the book is much more than a survey of ideas-it demonstrates the power of communication in our everyday lives.
