I needed this book for a comm class that was required for my engineering degree. I did not enjoy reading this book at all. It is dripping with liberal propaganda to reinforce the liberal narrative. Frequently promotes diversity as strength, and that competition produces poor results. I don't know if the authors actually believe this stuff or if they have just been stuck in universitys for so long that they actually believe this. Read this book with a massive grain of salt.
Ended up not really needing for my class. So it's been sitting on my desk this semester minding its own business..
It's helpful for a small group communication class, but not a very engaging book.
Great! In time and brand new plus useful! Thank you so much.
Really helpful for my small group communications class.
Very easy to read AN UDNERSTAN VERY USEFUL
Perfect just what I wanted! Thank you!
