  • Two volumes containing more than 300 signed entries (authored by over 200 contributing authors from 10 countries) provide users with the most authoritative and thorough reference resource available on communication theory, both in terms of breadth and depth of coverage.  Authors include some of the best-known theorists and comentators in the field.
  • General Editors Stephen W. Littlejohn and Karen A. Foss are co-authors of the best-selling textbook on communication theory, and in this new encyclopedia, they work with an international editorial board to ensure high quality content students can rely upon.
  • To ease navigation between and among related entries, a Reader's Guide groups entries thematically and each entry is followed by Cross-References.
  • While there are no separate biographical entries for theorists, per se, (because such biographies are readily available via the web) individuals who made important contributions to particular theories are discussed within those entries, and individuals are listed in a separate section within the Reader's Guide.
  • An appendix with a Chronology of Communication Theory allows students to easily chart directions and trends in thought and theory from classical times to the present.
  • Suggestions for Further Reading at the end of each entry guide readers to sources for more detailed research and discussion, and the backmatter contains a selected bibliography of major works by topics.
