I am a long-term user of Douglas Hoehn’s Understanding Communication (Dubuque, IA: Kendall Hunt) through each of its four editions. Its popularity among my students is what led me to make it one of the pivotal textbooks in my courses, which have spanned communication thorough entry-level English courses in a college setting. In final course evaluations, students frequently remarked that the topics covered were very readable, clear, and interesting, and therefore added to their knowledge of the subject. It was not uncommon to hear from students that Understanding Communication was their favorite textbook among the many they had experienced.
