This well-loved copy of “Interpersonal Messages: Communication and Relationship” by Joseph A. DeVito offers a unique glimpse into the evolution of communication studies. First published in 1976, this seminal work introduced groundbreaking theories on interpersonal communication dynamics, exploring how individuals construct and negotiate meaning through verbal and nonverbal cues. DeVito’s insights laid the foundation for subsequent research on topics like self-disclosure, conflict resolution, and the impact of technology on human interaction.
While this second edition from the early 1990s predates the widespread adoption of social media and smartphones, its core principles remain relevant in our hyper-connected world. Collectors and scholars alike will appreciate the opportunity to trace the origins of contemporary communication theories through the well-thumbed pages and marginal notes left by previous readers. A true artifact of its time, this book represents a pivotal moment in the field’s intellectual history.
