Interpersonal Communication: Competence and Contexts prepares
students to communicate successfully in today's fast-paced and
complex society through the implementation of a unique
competence-building model. This highly readable text provides the
theories, concepts, and applications in a pedagogically sound

three elements: motivation, knowledge, and skill. Studying
interpersonal communication through this distinct framework will
provide a foundation for students' motivation to communicate
competently, increase their knowledge about communication, and
enhance their acquisition and performance of communication skills.

Understanding Everyday Incivility delves into the day-to-day
annoying behaviors that color our interactions with other people,
such as the use of crude language in public, family members who
claim that they're "just teasing" and we're "too sensitive,"
coworkers who constantly interrupt us, and inflammatory remarks
posted on social media sites. Shelley D. Lane explores what is
considered uncivil behavior, why we label some acts as crude or
selfish while others are deemed polite and proper, and how these
labels often change from one context to the next. She highlights
the power dynamics at play in our interactions and explains how
"rude" behavior can sometimes be beneficial-and "polite" behavior
can be detrimental. Rather than a simplistic manual of manners,
Lane provides the tools to understand everyday incivility and
strategies for responding effectively and appropriately.
She peered into the steaming crater of Mt. Aetna, slid "up" an icy
mountain in Bavaria, and was marched to a shabby police station in
Tunisia. She also had some important decisions to make while she
spent her junior year abroad as an exchange student at the
University of Stirling in Scotland. Should she remain dependent on
her noncommittal boyfriend or should she risk loneliness and
abandon her dreams of their future? Should she focus on marriage,
attend graduate school, or should she begin a career? What should
she do with her life?
The rousing narrative in "A Stirling Diary" chronicles humorous
encounters with "Brit-speak," rollicking adventures in Europe and
Africa, and the appreciation of and affection for the Scottish
people. Shelley shares honest and occasionally raw descriptions of
her struggles to adapt not only to various cultures but also to
discover her own self-worth in the process.
"A Stirling Diary" is not just a fascinating travel journal; it's
also an inspiring personal story that illustrates the
transformation of an insecure young girl to an empowered young
woman who looks inward to survive betrayal and depression.
