Berko, Aitken, and Wolvin have it all for my next interpersonal communication course. Their new text weaves application and practice with theory. The book teaches concrete skills while introducing larger principles and important vocabulary. All the while, this work balances vivid examples and stories with extensive, current research in the field. In sum, "IComm" is a mindful eyeful of interpersonal communication. It my course's textbook from now on.
