Organizational Communication
Abstract: This book discusses communication and the dynamics of relationships within organizations. Topics include: theories, propositions, and directions of organizational communication climate; transactional, personal, and serial nature of communication; methods, purposes and networks used to create and exchange verbal messages within organizations; the creation and exchange of nonverbal messages in organizations; the types and purposes of dyadic organizational communication; and, planning of organizational communication diagnosis.
Murder, Inc
Do you assume the products you buy, the food you eat, the medicines you take, and the cars you drive are safe? Think again. We're exposed on a daily basis to life-threatening hazards of which we're often unaware. From defective airbags that can explode and kill us to poisonous additives in food, we're often the unknowing victims of corporate malfeasance and shamefully incompetent government oversight. In this hard-hitting expose′, Dr. Gerald M. Goldhaber examines the outcomes when corporate profits trump public safety. He uncovers the dismal history of government regulatory agencies that are supposed to protect us, but instead appoint leaders who come and go from the same industries they'r...
Handbook of Organizational Communication
This comprehensive handbook features work on organizational communication research, authored by the leading scholars in the field. This broad-based overview is intended for both students, scholars, and professionals. It is organized into three sections that present the theoretical and methodological directions of the field along with insights into the future growth of new communications technologies and their effects on public and private sector organizations. The volume addresses many questions: What is the current state of the discipline? How do we define the parameters of organizational communication? What paradigms and philosophical approaches define this field? What theoretical propositions have evolved from the past two decades of research in organizational communication? What research trends and themes have been supported and discounted? Where is there agreement among scholars? Where is there differentiation among viewpoints? What direction is current and future research taking in the field?
Shared Experiences in Human Communication
A novel approach to traditional subjects, the wide variety of opinions, and the extensive introductory material lift this book out of the ordinary “readings" class, and will reward the reader with understanding and appreciation of a complex subject. This collection of 37 provocative selections on human communication shares with the reader the experience and insights of some of the best minds in the discipline. The selections for the most part deal with traditional communication topics in a novel way. For example, in the chapter on verbal communication, there is a selection on profane language; in the chapter on nonverbal communication, there is a section entitled “The Silent Language of ...

Theories of Human Development
Theories of Human Development is an introduction to the currently viable theories of human development: what they are, how they are developed, and how they are validated. The theories are presented within a three-part framework that includes the mechanistic, organismic, and contextualist perspectives. Contemporary theorists discussed in this text include Albert Bandura, Robert Siegler, Katherine Nelson, Esther Thelen, Gerald Edelman, Robert Kegan, Glenn Elder, and others.
Topological Solitons
Topological solitons occur in many nonlinear classical field theories. They are stable, particle-like objects, with finite mass and a smooth structure. Examples are monopoles and Skyrmions, Ginzburg-Landau vortices and sigma-model lumps, and Yang-Mills instantons. This book is a comprehensive survey of static topological solitons and their dynamical interactions. Particular emphasis is placed on the solitons which satisfy first-order Bogomolny equations. For these, the soliton dynamics can be investigated by finding the geodesics on the moduli space of static multi-soliton solutions. Remarkable scattering processes can be understood this way. The book starts with an introduction to classical field theory, and a survey of several mathematical techniques useful for understanding many types of topological soliton. Subsequent chapters explore key examples of solitons in one, two, three and four dimensions. The final chapter discusses the unstable sphaleron solutions which exist in several field theories.
