About the author

McGraw-Hill Education traces its history back to 1888 when James H. McGraw, co-founder of the company, purchased the American Journal of Railway Appliances. He continued to add further publications, eventually establishing The McGraw Publishing Company in 1899. His co-founder, John A. Hill, had also produced several technical and trade publications and in 1902 formed his own business, The Hill Publishing Company.

In 1909 both men agreed upon an alliance and combined the book departments of their publishing companies into The McGraw-Hill Book Company. John Hill served as President, with James McGraw as Vice-President. 1917 saw the merger of the remaining parts of each business into The McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, Inc.

A very useful, informative, well presented text. If you're studying communication, looking to improve your communication skills, and/or work in an environment that requires good communication (i.e., counselling), definitely check this text out.

Useful book.
I love their definition of communication. They say that "Communication is the deliberate or accidental transfer of meaning".
People communicate even without meaning to do so or are aware that they are so doing. It could be gestures, facial expressions, non-response or silence.
From that point, the book takes the reader into the actual working of communication.
