Reviews


"Rogers's [persuasion] text is quite comprehensive; it is well organized and well focused, reflecting the time and energy spent on compiling the various sources. The text takes readers through a step-by-step process that they will find helpful." Joe Wilferth, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

"This [persuasion] text has a number of strengths that will make it attractive and useful. The book's wide variety of well-chosen examples will resonate with many readers, and by combining traditional theories and perspectives with up-to-date research, it provides a very progressive outlook. Rogers's conversational tone is also extremely accessible." James J. Kimble, Seton Hall University; author, Mobilizing the Home Front: War Bonds and Domestic Propaganda
