Jandt once again sparks student interest in this ever-changing field with an easy-to-read, highly accessible and exciting introduction to the art of effectively communicating across group barriers. An Introduction to Intercultural Communication: Identities in a Global Community explores the key concepts of communication and culture, addressing: group barriers that make such communication challenging; dimensions of culture; multiculturalism; women, family, and children; and more - while retaining its unique, non-biased appreciation for all cultures and ethnic groups. Students acquire valuable verbal and nonverbal communication skills, learn to communicate in unfamiliar settings, and recognize culture’s influence on self-perception.     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  New to this Edition:  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  The Fifth Edition is briefer than its predecessor (in response to instructor feedback) while still uniquely boasting both international and U.S. domestic examples - a feature popular in prior editions \u003cbr\u003e  Theories are more prominent in this edition, highlighted in new \u003ci\u003eFocus on Theory \u003c\/i\u003esections that enrich student understanding and ground the practical material while retaining the text’s immense readability \u003cbr\u003e   Domestic and global examples have been updated throughout, including examples illustrating the effects of increased Muslim immigration to Western Europe - giving the book timely appeal to students and professors alike \u003cbr\u003e  Photo Essays have been added to illustrate the main concepts of each part of the text, bringing key points to life for the reader and enriching student comprehension \u003cbr\u003e    \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SAGE Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47053963493616,"sku":"9781412970105","price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781412970105_p0.jpg?v=1763726386","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781412970105","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
