Designed to help students understand communication processes in relationships and develop specific skills needed to create and maintain healthy ones, Inter-Act: Interpersonal Communication Concepts, Skills, and Contexts, Thirteenth Edition, retains the features that have made this book so successful: a theory driven skills-based focus, an accessible tone and presentation, and a multitude of useful pedagogical tools. For this edition, Joseph Mazer of Clemson University (whose scholarship includes original research on social media) authored much of the new and unique social media content and Brant Burleson and Erina MacGeorge of Purdue helped to update the scholarship, while maintaining the skills-based approach that this text is known for. Lively and well-written, Inter-Act features numerous activities that enable students to relate their everyday experiences to their studies in communication. It also clearly illustrates how cultural, racial, and gender differences-as well as electronically mediated messages-alter what we should do to communicate effectively. With a strong focus on the importance of ethics, this leading text encourages students to develop their analytical abilities as they think critically about key concepts in interpersonal communication.

Review

"I wouldn't dream of adopting another text. Nothing else parallels the integration of theory, scholarship, and practical advice that I've found in Inter-Act!"--Anita Chirco, Keuka College "The social media discussions place this text on the cutting edge. The changes in content and scholarship have enhanced a book that was already highly effective."--Carlton Hughes, Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College "The key strength of this text is the savory balance between developing skills and a section on ethics in each chapter."--Sakile Camara, California State University, Northridge

Amazing textbook

Reviewed in the United States on 28 November 2016

Verified Purchase

The textbook is nicely organized and offers just enough information to illustrate points without being redundant. I wish I had discovered this textbook years ago. Aside from being required for class, I have gained so much insight into communication skills. I rented the textbook from Amazon, and their service was superb as always. They offer generous rental times, and if codes or extra access materials aren't needed for the class, I recommend using their rental service.

Good book. Paperback and in New condition. Be careful when opening the binding. I feel the glue may give way and the pages may fall out over multiple use. I use this multiple times a week and no pages have gave way yet.

Text is in good condition- cover was very dirty

Reviewed in the United States on 12 February 2019

The text is in great condition and the price was very affordable. However, the cover appeared to be very filthy, so I needed to cover it with paper in order to use this book. Overall, it was a good purchase.
