The volume is organized into two major sections devoted to interpersonal relations, organizations, and community, and to media, the public, and community. This division replicates conventional thinking, following apparent distinctions between interpersonal and mediated, micro and macro, and between the issues of communal relations and of geographical communities. The editor's intent is to show, however, that communication and community cannot be adequately analyzed in any context without reference to other contexts, other levels of analysis, and other media and modes of communication. They also anticipate that this move toward conceptual integration will be completed by readers, and that the book will find an appreciative audience among students, teachers, andresearchers concerned with communication across contexts, media, and modes.
