Opis

The central thesis of this book is that the communication process is consequential for people's lives in ways that cannot be explained by antecedent theory.

Recenzje

"You will never sit down at dinner with your family again, without thinking of this book. It shows how the simple act of sharing a meal can be a mechanism for teaching children, for expressing one's identity, and for transmitting one's culture."
—Catherine Snow
Harvard University

"Sigman has brought together a distinguished group of authors who propose four distinct approaches to the consequentiality of communication. The theoretical dialogue that emerges in the pages of this book is itself a powerful illustration of the consequentiality of communication. The Consequentiality of Communication is a book that will have important consequences for our field."
—Robert T. Craig
