"Interplay is the ideal text for an introductory interpersonal
communication class. I am thrilled with the subject order of the
book and the fact that the second chapter is about culture and
communication. It's the only complete text on the market!"--Heather
Bixler, College of the Sequoias
"Interplay makes the ideas behind interpersonal communication come
alive through terrific diagrams, tables, and charts, and the use of
film really helps students see how communication concepts play out
in real life."--Kristin Haun, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
