[Commlist] new book: Communication Theory: Mapping a Diverse Field

”/ Communication Theory: Mapping a Diverse Field/” has just been 
published and is available at 
https://ethicspress.com/products/communication-theory?_pos=1&_sid=448ff3826&_ss=r

“/Communication Theory/” provides a theoretically informed exploration 
of diverse communication theories. It serves as a meta-discussion on the 
description and characterization of communication from various 
theoretical standpoints. The book also examines how different 
theoretical perspectives approach communication and how these approaches 
can be both conflicting and complementary.
The book illustrates the concept of human communication by demonstrating 
that, despite different theoretical lenses, all human communication 
shares fundamental characteristics. This underscores the importance of 
employing multiple perspectives to emphasize various aspects of 
communication in order to describe different facets of the communication 
process.

The book is written by Dr. Karsten Pedersen who is an associate 
professor at Roskilde University in Denmark ((kape /at/ ruc.dk))
