Trade Review"Media and communication scholars come from a wide range of backgrounds and focus on varied fields, so designing a curriculum for university students is no easy task. A key question that has no easy answer is: what is foundational knowledge? This clearly written, succinct, and yet surprisingly thorough textbook on communication would be of great help to those of us grappling with this question." *
