An Introduction to Communication Studies is divided into two parts. The first provides students with a strong foundation of communication, while the second focuses on the areas of specialisation within Communication Studies. In addition, each chapter starts with the learning outcomes and a short overview of the chapter. Students may monitor their learning with the summaries and 'test yourself' questions at the end of every chapter. Scenarios provide examples of how the theory can be applied in practice. This makes for a learner-friendly and accessible book which will indeed prove useful to students and professionals alike.
