Cengage Advantage Books: Looking Out, Looking In, 14th Edition

Used for my class years ago

This was in really good condition considering it has perforated pages. No pages were missing. Barely any underlined text. No highlighting. No other marks. This is the 14th Edition. There are a great deal of class exercises and a Check Your Understanding section at the end of each chapter. Answer Key included for the Check Your Understanding section. This book is the 14th Edition. They are using the 15th edition for this semester. The 15th edition includes a new chapter for a total of 12 chapters. It was added as Chapter 2 and it covers Online Social Media. I think a 16th edition is coming out in 2023. Online resources for textbooks vary based on publisher and type of rental, etc. This book is a good reference book to refer to in future. It is used in many college communication classes.

If you ever wanted to learn how communication works between others, and the principles behind communication, this book will help you start to gain that understanding. I recommend this book to anyone who values communicating with others. Without learning to communicate effectively, your not going to get anywhere in this life really. This was the last class I needed in my Automotive Technology Degree (AAS) after 18 years. I received the 2 year certificate, not degree,18 years ago. I needed a humanities class. I absolutely love cars, and I Don't think of myself as a humanities kind of guy. So, going back to college years later, I decided to complete my degree and take "Interpersonal Communications". I think the instructor at Bellevue College Online is phenomenal, and this book is good.This was the best class I have ever taken and the missing class I should have had 20 years ago, even compared to automotive. They say that every Top CEO is a communication expert. Communication is Key to everything. This book gets 5 stars, the instructor at BC online (L) 10 stars out of 5! Much Respect! Thanks L!

This is the textbook for my Interpersonal Communications class for college, which is why I purchased it. The content of this book is useful, well-written, and clear. I would recommend it to others, but perhaps in a different binding.I've used this book approximately two days a week, for the last five weeks. I am careful with my books; some say I'm obsessively careful. Regardless of this, my paperback copy of this book is coming unbound. The attached picture is not great, but does show how the pages are separating from each other. I expect any book over a hundred dollars to last, and this one just isn't.

I had to get this book for my communications class, but I actually enjoy reading it! I get bored sometimes, but generally it's a fairly fun read, for a textbook. It is very up to date, with references to recent shows that I watch, like House and White Collar, among others. It has given me insights into just how terrible my communication skills are and how destructive my ways of dealing with conflict can be to my relationships. Hopefully I will be able to take lessons from this book and apply them!

I am going to have to purchase this book. It came to me with the front cover half torn off. But it has all the extra workbook in it. Plus I like to underline concepts. I will not be renting another book from amazon. There are too many restrictions as to what you can't do wit it. I have blown past all of it.

I was very happy with this book for my communications class. Everything was easy to read and the concepts were not hard to understand. It was interesting how much they used movies to show concepts and if you have seen those movies then expect for it to make a lot of sense. The pictures were clear and there was just enough humor and stories in it to keep you interested in the content. Thanks for making a book that was so easy to read for communications class.

I didn't read anywhere in the description about this book being printed in black and white so I was surprised when I received the book. However, I saved so much money in comparison to the campus bookstore price ($156.50) that the mundane pages will not bother me one bit.
