"The theoretical part of the book presents the key concepts to understanding the processes of social influence and persuasion." (PsycCritiques, June 2009) “The blending of classical rhetoric and contemporary persuasion theory and meta-analysis results as applied to everyday practice represents an exciting and remarkable achievement. Understandable and comprehensive, the Benoits begin the next generation of textbooks.”Mike Allen, UW-Milwaukee“This clearly written book [does] a particularly good job of combining theory and application. References [are] comprehensive, … and the material well presented and accessible. Recommended.” (Choice)
