Reviewer Praise for DeVito's "Essentials of Human Communication" “ I marvel at the ease with which Professor DeVito synthesizes the communication literature into coherent and easy to read chapters for our undergraduate communication students.”
Carole A. Barbato, "Kent State University"
“ I find the material on culture well integrated into the book at appropriate times...I think this material is extremely relevant in our ever-shrinking world and that students really benefit from its inclusion.”
Thomas D. Bovino, "Suffolk Community College"
“ The strength of this text is a basic, well organized approach to human communication with a clear, concise writing style that flows well and makes for an easy read.”
Kathleen Perri, "Valencia Community College"
“ The mix of theoretical discussion and skill development exercises is appreciated by students as they find it to be a 'friendly' text compared to other college level texts they read. Also, the layout and design of the text encourages students to interact with the work.”
Joseph Ortiz, "Scottsdale Community College"
“ The intercultural thread was one of the original qualities that drew me to the text and I find the updates to be excellent. The full integration of this theme is especially effective and is much preferred to treating the concept in one chapter only.”
“ I like the attention paid to diversity. My students come from very diverse backgrounds and I am especially sensitive to a text that will include photos and examples of people similar to them. This text accomplished that goal.”
Elizabeth O'Brien, "Phoenix College"
“ The writing style is excellent, literate without pretension and very well focused. I think that the students, and the lecturers, will find it very accessible, without feeling as if they are being spoon-fed the information.&#
