This book is astounding. Its clear, accessible written presentation reveals the authors have a superior grasp of effective teaching methodologies, and for that matter, communication in general. I see teaching as the ultimate summit of human communication (amounting not only to receiving of information, but to retention and application of real world concepts)... and this book handles its subject in a superb manner. I'm a graphic design professional, and all aspects of 'communication' facsinate me, although much of the academic texts on the subject of 'communication' perpetuate the ambiguity and self-aggrandising, elitist embivalence long used as a tool by academia, resisting real world accountability and application. More of this sort of pratical information and clarity needs to be made accessible to more people, and this book is the best example I have seen to actively facilitate this.

This book is very helpful when accompanied with a Communication Theory textbook. The writing is clear, succinct with real world applications. The case studies are on target with thoughtful/realistic scenarios and great "Questions to Consider."

The cover is rough with many spots on it.
The inside is also rough ,too

It is really a used book which has been used for many years.

I don't understand how such an old book can charge for such an high price!

I am highly anticipating the release of this book based primarily on the authors' reputation and contribution to the field. A can't miss piece of work, for sure.

This is so rad. I can't believe I'm the first to review this super scintillating read. This book is a real page-turner. And the authors? There's no comparison. They're obviously at the top of their field. Ok, ok, so they taught me everything I know and I owe all the success in my personal life to them...but who cares about bias anyway? I'd buy it, but currently don't have that kind of money in my wallet. But don't worry, I swear it's the first thing on my christmas list. (and I promise not to nail it to my wall)
