Real

Communication

third edition

an introduction

“Real Communication is a text-
book for students. It effectively
approaches students with lan-
guage and examples that they are
likely to immediately understand
and enjoy.”
— Johnny Rowing,
College of Western Idaho

“Real Communication is far

more interactive than any other

communication text I have ever

read. I would tell a colleague:

‘This is a very cool book.’”

— Rikki Tremblay,

CSU-Fullerton

“Real Communication is the most

relevant and engaging Basic

Course text out there. I’ve read

through dozens of introductory

surveys and this one has the right

balance of engaging and relevant

content.”

— Cassandra L. Carlson,

University of Wisconsin, Madison

“The writing style gives the text-

book a warmer, more personal

quality that is often lacking in most

college textbooks.”

— Dov Zamore,

student

“I had one student raise

her hand and offer in class that

she loved the textbook,

and that it’s one of the few

she planned on keeping! I no-

ticed other students nod

in agreement.”

— Laura Janusik,

Rockhurst University

“The current examples

and pop culture photos add

interest and motivate students

to read. I find the style to be

a win for me and a win for

my students.”

— Ashley Alfaro,

Tarrant County College,

Southeast
