"Cognition, Communication, and Romantic Relationships" focuses on
the role of memory, communication, and social cognition in the
development of romantic relationships. The authors review
developmental models of communication and examine criticisms of
these models. They also explore the stages through which
relationships escalate and deteriorate, and consider the processes
for such activities as meeting new people, dating, sexual
intercourse, and terminating relationships. Differences between men
and women are discussed throughout the text, in light of current
research supporting systematic gender differences in how people
think about romance and relationships.
The core dilemma in environmental advocacy may be illustrated by the question, "When we communicate about the world, should we stress what we know or what we feel?" The contributors to The Symbolic Earth argue that it is more important to decide how we should talk about what we know and feel. In their view, the environment is larely a product of how we talk about the world. Because the environment is a social construction, the only hope we have of preserving it is to understand and alter the fundamental ways we discuss it. This collection first examines the ways in which discourse creates environment perceptions. Subjects discussed range from the description of natural scenery to the advocacy of political interest groups, from the everyday interactions of citizens facing environmental crises to the greenwashing of corporate imagemakers, and from the psychology of the mass public to the social constructions of the mass media. The authors include nationally known scholars of environmental history, rhetorical theory, ethnography, communication and journalism studies, public policy, and media criticism.
