Review

"I chose this book because for me it covers the issues pertaining to intercultural communication that are relevant to today's society." -- Rosemary O'Donnell 20110209

Book Description

Packed with thought-provoking examples, photos, vignettes, quotes, cases, and stories that spark students’ interest and challenge them to reassess existing viewpoints, the Sixth Edition of An Introduction to Intercultural Communication prepares today’s readers to successfully navigate our increasingly global community. Using a historical framework that places current topics in context, author Fred E. Jandt integrates media as a variable in advancing issues and ideas, offers full chapter on women, family, and children and retains his non-biased presentation of all cultures and ethnic groups.

New and Continuing Features:

An environment-focused box in each chapter discusses how the environment relates to the book’s intercultural communication topics.
Focus on Theory boxes ground the practical material in communication and social theory.
Coverage of immigration has been expanded to reflect current developments.
Domestic and global examples have been updated throughout.
New and expanded Photo Essays illustrate the main concepts of the text, bringing key points to life for the reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Cross Cultural Communication book I've read, Jan 18 2011

By Reba Orton - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: An Introduction to Intercultural Communication: Identities in a Global Community (Paperback)

This book describes the effect of culture on sensing, perception, selection, organization, and interpretation. I also learned that cross cultural communication as a field has a lot of statistical information that allowed one to see the ratings the countries had on various characteristics. The information that I found in the book was arranged in such a way that I could read a page or two each day and still learn something new or interesting. I also liked the information I found near the end of the book on the four types of marriages: traditional, independent, separate, and mixed.
Overall, this book is a good read! I highly recommend it.
