The book has a solid blend of both theory and practice, and the examples are timely, fresh, and engaging."--Geoffrey D. Klinger, DePauw University
"This is a well-rounded text for the course. It does a great job of addressing the necessary topics to introduce students to the field of health communication. The book also provides excellent multimedia examples and gives great real-world examples throughout."--Brian Rogers, University of Wisconsin Whitewater
"The writing is accessible and the use of multiple examples allows for a deeper understanding of the issues. The author draws on recent, relevant sources to add to the discussion and includes a variety of discussion questions to get readers to connect what they are reading to their own experience."--Jen Anderson, Bellevue College
