This eye-opening reader explores how communication values and styles can be similar or different for members of various cultures and communities.

This broad-based, highly engaging reader, compiled by the authors who defined the course, includes a balanced selection of articles--some commissioned solely for this text--that discusses the classic ideas that laid the groundwork for this field, as well as the latest research and ideas. Material is presented in such a way that you can read, understand, and then apply course concepts to your own life.

 The Text is Excellent. March 23, 2006

I have taught with several of the major readers on the market: Samovar and Porter's, Nakayama and Martin, and others. This text has the most well written readings and contains articles on many seminal issues, context (Hall), time (Hall), etc. This text has the LEAST blatantly fluff filled articles intended only to titillate and pander to students. Additionally, if you review some of the other texts, you will see that they often have poorly referenced articles and the work is less than scholarly. It is possible to write a chapter for a reader such as this and support your content with support and references. The articles here are interesting, well written, well referenced, and more-grounded in theory and research than a lot of the competition. I recommend it highly. MLK
Great book November 27, 2009
Diep T. Thai (Buffalo, NY USA)
I teach cultural classes and found this edition really helpful for my students. It's very practical and easy to read for undergrads. The book helps them to understand the abstract cultural concepts. This book goes well along with "Understanding the global cultures" by Gannon.

I was lucky enough to take a class from Professor Samovar. This was a great book and a good introduction to intercultural communication.

The picture of the book clearly indicates that it is the 12th edition. I received the 10th edition and the seller will not take it back even though I wrote to her as soon as I got it. I have to buy a new book that is the correct edition and I have lost the money I paid for this one unless I get a refund from Amazon. I would not buy from this seller again. A couple of other people complained about the same issue with this seller.
