About this ebook
The Interpersonal Communication Book (16th Edition) by Joseph DeVito is organized around a five-principles approach and a foundational concept of "choice," exploring how individual choices influence communication effectiveness. The textbook explicitly integrates contemporary real-world contexts, such as interpersonal dynamics during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests. [1]
The text is divided into three major parts spanning 12 primary topics: [1]

- Nonverbal Messages: Analyhes body language, gestures, spatial communication, touch, and facial management techniques.
