Now in its 7th edition, Communication in History reveals how media has been influential in both maintaining social order and as powerful agents of change. Thirty-eight contributions from a wide range of voices offer instructors the opportunity to customize their courses while challenging students to build upon their own knowledge and skill sets. From stone-age symbols and early writing to the Internet and social media, readers are introduced to an expansive, intellectually enlivening study of the relationship between human history and communication media.
Paul Heyer is Professor Emeritus in the Communication Studies Department at Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada. Peter Urquhart is Associate Professor in the Communication Studies Department at Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada.
