UNDERSTANDING HUMAN COMMUNICATION IS UNDERSTANDING CHANGE. For over three
decades, this has been the best-selling text for the introduction to human communication course.
Understanding Human Communication is written with one goal in mind: to provide students with
the insights and skills to succeed in our changing world. Ronald B. Adler, George Rodman, and
new author Carrie Cropley Hutchinson place communication theory within the context of everyday
skills and draw from the latest media, culture, and scholarship, creating a distinctive pedagogy that
gives students the tools they need to master--and enjoy--this intriguing and relevant subject. NEW
TO THE ELEVENTH EDITION* New part-opening "Case Studies" present real-life communication
challenges on the job, in school, and in personal relationships.* A brand-new chapter, "The
Changing World of Communication," considers demographic and cultural influences and the ways
in which technologies have created both new opportunities and challenges in our modern world.*
This edition presents current research on many new topics including how we perceive strangers
differently in mediated and face-to-face communication, how linguistic labels reflect cultural
identity, the differences between conflicts online and in person, and the ways in which gender
influences styles of conflict.* New "@ Work" boxes demonstrate how key concepts presented in
the book can be applied in the workplace.* Part V: Public Communication has been streamlined
and reorganized to give students a more efficient introduction to public speaking. Synthesizing
material from previous editions, the new Chapter 11, "Preliminary Considerations," discusses
choosing and developing a topic as well as managing communication apprehension.* A new
Appendix, "Communicating for Career Success," provides students with practical information on
interviewing and networking. DISTINCTIVE FEATURES* Understanding Diversity sidebars address
subjects such as managing identity during the process of "coming out," the potential for
misunderstandings during translation, and how lessons from other cultures can enhance listening
skills.* Understanding Communication Technology boxes focus on topics related to mediated
communication, including how social media can meet a variety of communication needs, the
etiquette of revealing what one has learned about others online, the dangers of being overly
connected via the internet, and the ethical principles for using and acknowledging information
gleaned from the web.* Invitation to Insight sidebars offer readings that show how the elements
of communication operate in contemporary society, including the risks of broadcasting personal
information via "sexting," social standards for using profanity, and the limitations of free speech
when civil listening is absent.* Critical Thinking probes encourage students to consider their own
actions in light of concepts covered in the text.* Ethical Challenges invite students to ponder
contemporary ethical issues in communication, such as whether honesty is always the best policy,
the acceptability of presenting multiple identities, the tension between allowing free speech and
the acceptability of hateful language, and the challenge of dealing politely but effectively with
obnoxious group members.* Cultural Idioms appear in the margins of each chapter, helping non-
native English speakers understand American colloquialisms while also showing more proficient
speakers how supposedly everyday speech can be misunderstood by listeners from other cultures.
SUPPORT PACKAGE* ClassMate, a nationally hosted online homework system, gives you the ability
to manage digital content from this book and its supplements, to make assignments, to administer
tests, and to track student progress.* Companion Website (www.oup.com/us/uhc11) with free

answers, giving students even more opportunities for practice* Instructor's Manual with a revised
