Review
“I applaud the new edition of Health Communication in the 21st Century as a comprehensive and incisive review of health communication scholarship written by three of the field's leading scholars.” – Gary L. Kreps, George Mason University “The second edition of this excellent foundational health communication text effectively captures the changing dynamic of the complex health care system and the central role health communication plays within any attempt to understand how individuals, communities and governments struggle to maintain healthy lifestyles. I am most impressed by how this book moves well beyond all other health communication texts, with the emphasis placed upon coverage of formal and informal caregiving, cultural diversity, interdisciplinary healthcare teams, and new technologies.” – Jon Nussbaum, Penn State University “The second edition of Health Communication in the 21st Century is a thorough and illuminating examination of the health communication literature. It is well researched, clearly written, and a book that students will both enjoy and benefit from.” – James D. Robinson, Professor Department of Communication, University of Dayton ISBN - 9780470672723
