Communication Theory: A Journey Through the Ages presents communication theory as a journey through history by way of asking engaged questions. Informed by contemporary problems, students explore theory up close through their own engaged questions. Encouraging intellectual vitality, the authors show students step by step how theoretical ideas are interconnected and lead to an increasingly complex understanding of communication. The book is designed to enliven students’ curiosity by showing how learning theory is directly connected to their lived experiences. Rather than presenting students with packaged answers, they will be motivated to ask questions as they encounter historical figures, social events and artifacts, resulting in a richer understanding of the biographical, cultural, and social context for communication theories.
