Hamelink provides us with a smart textbook on international communication that should become an inspirational source for teachers and students. With attention to theory, method, history and context – the book is a wise choice for anyone seeking to understand global communication.
This book is a valuable contribution to the backbone of Global Communications, which coherently consolidates information on the history, economy, politics, culture and flows of this emerging field. Perfect for students of our interlaced and complicated global futures.
Comprehensive in its scope and scale, rigorously argued and richly illustrated with wide-ranging examples, this clearly written and user-friendly book from a veteran commentator on international communication will be valuable for students and scholars. Strongly recommended.
The book is valuable and fits perfectly the objectives of the course I'm intending to teach. I haven't adopted the book because I received the inspection copy a little bit late to place an order.
