Overview

"A sampling of recent theory work from twelve of the more interesting scholars concerned with communication in Europe, the United States, Canada, and Australia. . . . The book is consistently more sociological than most work in communication studies. . . . I know of no other book that would be more useful in graduate sociology courses to address the relation between communication and social order.”—Contemporary Sociology
