Product Description
Review
"I believe that the Adler treatment of IPC is one of the best in the field… It presents this material in a clear and relevant fashion for students. It covers topics of significant importance for the personal and relational growth of students. It is easy to teach from. The ancillary materials are excellent and further the instruction quality of the text…This is one of the most teacher and student friendly books in the field. Excellent visuals in the chapters and excellent applications and exercises."
"I think this text has class. Our students think it has real value, so much so, that they keep it. With this text we change lives, empower people and teach skills and concepts for a communication rich life."
"I thought the (Communication Scenarios) were interesting and insightful. I also think that my students would enjoy the scenarios. Because we live in such a media generated society, I have found that my students truly enjoy watching concepts rather then being lectured on a concept."

no deal,
This review is from: Looking Out, Looking In (Hardcover)
i have nothing bad to say about the seller or the product, however, the lowest price for the a used copy of this textbook is six dollars more than i can get it for in my college bookstore. then add shipping on top of that. the cost of a used book should be below the cost of a new one in the store. i understand that it is a hard cover book, but broke college students like lighter books. Blessings.

WARNING: Kindle Edition Missing Significant Parts of Book Due to "Copyright Restrictions",
By Adam Lintz - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I got this book for a course I am taking. Unfortunately, there are several excepts and related material that are omitted from the Kindle edition due to "Copyright Restrictions". The book itself is quite good, but if you end up being quizzed on or otherwise need these sections, you may be caught with your proverbial pants down. I wonder how long before publishers realize that these hassles are often the reason why people don't trust purchasing digital material.Amazon should NOT sell this as the "Kindle Edition" of the printed book without at least clearly advertising that the book is missing material. 13 of 14 people found the following review helpful

Best Textbook I've Ever Used,
By K. Lam - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Looking Out, Looking in (with CD-ROM and Infotrac) (Hardcover)
As a college student, I'm used to dry, terse textbooks that I fall asleep over, but Looking Out, Looking In is different. The art, poetry, illustrative stories, even the cartoons are beautiful and entertaining. The content is well organized, enjoyable reading and the extra exercises are so much fun that I've done them when they weren't assigned (well, I'm also a bit of a nerd, but that's beside the point). If you're a communications or psychology prof browsing for a new curriculum, do your students a huge favor: use this book!

Almost liked it until "Content not Available due to Copyright Restrictions",
By JustDeming - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
So I decide to purchase the kindle version of this textbook so save carrying weight, and a few dollars. I was very disapointed as I bagan reading the text, because in many cases there will be a lead up to an example then suddenly in am faced with a nice bomb of a message "Content not Available due to Copyright Restrictions".I gave this two stars, bacause other than the missing content, this is a great book. What? I was not warned when I purchased this online that I was looking at an incomplete textbook. I have found this message several times per chapter, and yes I have had instances where I missed points in class, or couldn't fully participate in the conversation about the reading because the exaplme being discussed is not in my E-Book. I feel it's not appropriate at all to sell the book in anything but the same form as the print book without a warning. If there are copywright restrictions preventing you from producing a full digital version, then don't do it. Don't sell it to me, and pepper the book with little messages "oops, sorry, the people that bought the paper version get the whole book, but since this is digital you don't get the same thing" It happens so much in this book, I bet if the publisher had tried they could have gotten permission to use most of the content in the E-book, but they just didn't bother. It was just easier to strip all the borrowed content from it, us readers won't know till we've already paid for it anyway. Bottom line, if you need this for a college class, save yourself the hastle and get the paper version, you can sell it to someone later anyway, unlike an E-Book. |
