The complexity of human communication

Most communication research and most applications of that research acknowledge the process nature of communication. However, the materail following that acknowledgment conforms to traditional linear and static approaches treating communication as little more than printed text. This Print paradigm persists despite repeated calls to explore the more dynamic nature of communication. In this second edition, the author updates and expands his argument that communication is a process analogous to the complexity of other living systems. --from Amazon.com
