Thinking Through Communication: An Introduction to the Study of Human Communication
This book is an excellent book for a communication’s class. It presents many understandable and relatable examples. But its greatest fall back is the overwhelming amount of information, there is just too much to remember! Another weakness of the book is its lackluster in appearance; it is just an ugly book which can be a big turn off when you want to read it through.

I ordered this book for my Comm 321 college course. This book was excellently written, witty, and to the point. I enjoyed my chapters, it was an easy and enjoyable read for a college text book! Sarah Trenholm is an amazing communicator, she gives relateable examples and provokes thought. Highly recommended for not only the college student, but for the everyday person who wants to better their communication skills or just learn more about the world he lives in.

The book was sent to me very quickly and the description given about the condition of the book was pretty perfect! I would purchase from this seller again.

I found this book to be hypocritical and vacuous. Students will get little out of it that they don’t already know. The author talks down to students and “dumbs down” the topics covered.
The Littlejohn textbook is much better.
