Rezensionen
...a well-organized book that achieves its purpose...Readers of all levels of expertise could benefit. Library and Information Science Research, Vol. 29, No. 2 (2007) This volume introduces students of information science and interested lay readers to the study of communication. Meadow (emeritus, information studies, U. of Toronto) begins with an overview of the history of communication, discussing forms ranging from cave drawings to radio, television, and the Internet. Other topics include (for example) the attributes of information, the idea of a symbol, and the communication of meaning and understanding. Reference and Research Book News, August 2006 Suggesting the true depth of the field through which Meadow is traversing, he provides brief notes and further reading suggestions at the end of each chapter. He also supplies an extensive bibliography...a good book for beginning communication students; it is a fun read for technical and professional communicators. -- Gary Hernandez Technical Communication, Vol. 54, No. 4, November 2007
