The book is divided into four parts. Each part is devoted to an important area of communication study and research that Elwood Murray helped integrate into speech and communication curricula: Communication Methodology, Group Communication, Linguistics, and Communication Disorders. The introductions to each section provide the reader with an overview of the specialty and acquaint him with the material to follow. They are written for the student who is just beginning his studies in speech and communication. The readings in each of the four sections vary considerably in focus, level, and content. Some are highly general and theoretical, others are rather specific and more data oriented. Some consist of a broad review of the literature while others deal with a very narrow aspect of some problem. The topics are treated with enough rigor to satisfy the specialist and collectively they cover sufficient ground to meet the needs of the novice or generalist for a look at some of the major and minor interest areas in speech and communication.
