I highly recommend passing on this book. While it is very up to date, unfortunately there is a lot of information that is useless of just wrong. The information is presented in a very unprofessional manner such as spending a page talking about how the author enjoys a specific channel on Twitch. The content is easy to read, but that is because it is very informal.You will likely come across a few names of key people and inventions that changed the communications world, but for the most part you will find nothing of value.
The formatting needs to changed. There's no clear signifier of what's the main text and what's side material. Would be a thousand times better if they made this into an eTextbook and had exact copies of the pages from the physical textbook. Should also add hyperlinks to the outside media it constantly refers to.
I order this book used and was only left with one option to purchase. I had to order the book unbounded which I have done with other books in the past. While I don't care for the non bounded books due to they are easier to cause damage to because of the hole punch holes tear. Book came in n problem nicely wrapped no problem. I flipped through the pages as I was putting it in the binder. Then in the In the middle of my semester I have an assignment due for Chapter 11. A quiz grade no less. I go to completed my assignment and low and behold, I have no chapter 11. I am missing pages from 267-098. Thanks dude. You suck and this was a total dick move. Now what? I have learned my lesson to check for every single page before I begin the course. Geez now what?
By far one of the most interesting textbooks I've used for class. The book is well written and straight to the point but also includes an array of supporting examples and informations. The text includes many pictures/graphs/facts which I appreciate as a visual learner.
ordered this for a mass communications class, it was a great read. I actually enjoyed my class
Perfect condition. It came exactly as was stated in description! Plus I love the new cover.
Definitely worth the money! Renting was way cheaper here than on any other site.
Convenient, quality product... My new "go to" resource.
