Communication Works 11e applies a new critical thinking framework
to its core content, now in a more user-friendly 15-chapter
organization. We have retained and revised the text's practical approach
to communication, with a focus on the ways in which diversity,
technology, social media, and ethical concerns both enrich and
complicate our world. Students will learn what role communication plays
in their lives today, in the classroom, and tomorrow, in the working
world.
