Communication in Everyday Life: A Social Interpretation
( (This book) is a clearly written and well-documented re...)
(This book) is a clearly written and well-documented review of social communication theory, and an alternative to texts which focus primarily on the psychology of interpersonal communication and tend to exclude the social perspective on understanding interpersonal communication. Leeds-Hurwitz provides a welcome addition to introductory texts on the study of human communication. (This) is for teachers who have searched for an introductory textbook which presents a comprehensive argument for a social interactionist perspective on communication in a way understandable to students. Most refreshing is that Leeds-Hurwitz does not talk down to the reader, integrates (not just cites) original sources, and illustrates the concepts with ethnographic research….

The Social History of Language and Social Interaction Research: People, Places, Ideas (Hampton Press Communication Series, Social Approaches to Interaction)
(The biography of a subject rather than a person, this boo...)
The biography of a subject rather than a person, this book examines the who, what, when, and where of Language and Social Interaction research, primarily as studied within the discipline of communication. Ideas do not just arise from nowhere, and get accepted because they are seen to be intrinsically valuable. The book describes the people who had the ideas, where they were working when they had them, who they were working with, and how their students carried those ideas beyond the boundaries of a single campus.
