Praise for Knapp and Vangelisti's
Interpersonal Communication and Human Relationships

“Knapp & Vangelisti do a great job of discussing relationships and interpersonal communication, a trend that is very popular with today's students.”
Rona Leber, Bossier Parish Community College

“I think this text is different and/or better than others because it covers areas of human relationships not found in other texts.”
Laura Sullivan, Northern Kentucky University

“Strengths include coverage of a wide variety of basic interpersonal concepts used in our field and good overview of contemporary (as well as older) research.”
Melanie Booth-Butterfield, West Virginia University

“I think this is better written than most of the texts I come across. My students also seem to find it suitably demanding, yet accessible and interestingly written.”
Robin Gilmour, University of California, Santa Barbara

“In my opinion, the primary strength of this text is its firm foundation derived from the years of experience of the authors. In addition, the inclusion of a great deal of empirical research results makes the text even stronger.”
Thomas D. Bovino, Suffolk County Community College
