My second-edition copy of this book was so dated that it had moved past "old" and held a certain charm, with its talk of telegraphs and Morse code and "computing machines." But despite this, the book was worth a read even on technical grounds. Covered here are such vastly distinct fields as the nature of coding/signals, the physiology of vocal production, the not-oversimplified but not overwhelming math of signal transmission and noise, the statistical basics of information theory, and an introduction to the relative importance of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics in human communication. I am certain that the increasing use of modern "computing machines" has also led to strides in communication theory, but this work still serves well as an introduction to some basic concepts and historical connections between fields as different as psychology and physics which have made contributions to this study. Cherry does a decent job of making the varied fields accessible, but I would by no means recommend this to a general reader who shies away from mathematical symbolism or physics. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Colin Cherry's book, over successive editions, has served for twenty years as perhaps the most literate and readable introduction to this interaction available. Readers have consistently found that fields within their specialty are covered with authority; that fields far removed are covered with clarity; and that the connections among them are shown to be close and natural. A book on human communication that is worthy of its subject must introduce the reader to the dynamic interaction of a number of diverse fields. Colin Cherry's book, over successive editions, has served for twenty years as perhaps the most literate and readable introduction to this interaction available. Readers have consistently found that fields within their specialty are covered with authority; that fields far removed are covered with clarity; and that the connections among them are shown to be close and natural.This third edition includes a new chapter, "Feeling, Knowledge, and Understanding," that extends the book's reach into philosophy, and in particular communicates some existential points-of-view. In it the author undertakes to demonstrate that "The language of physical science is inadequate for discussion of what is essentially human about human communication." In addition, numerous changes have been introduced throughout the text, and the bibliography has been expanded and updated. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
