Communication Research

Kendall-Hunt has put up a website for my  The Nonverbal Communication Book.  ( www.KendallHunt.com/devito ).   The website has links to the Preface, the TOC, and a sample chapter--(click "Samples").

More specifically, this text aims to: �          Explain the channels or codes of nonverbal communication and how you send and receive nonverbal messages. �          Explain the importance and the role of culture in both sending and receiving nonverbal messages. �...
