5.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough, explains key concepts in understandable terms, 28 Feb 2002
By A Customer
I am studying public relations at university, and find this book very useful. For example, I could not grasp systems theory until I read about it in this book, and suddenly it made sense! It is quite a thorough yet simplistic text, and is certainly ideal for public relations students. Unlike many of the public relations text books that I have used, I find this book is very straightforward. As it is so concise, it is a very useful introductory text.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty basic - but at least it is a start, 31 Dec 2005
By A Customer
I have yet to find a PR book that gives you any idea of how to do the real job in the real world

This would be fine as a 'course book' at college - but fairly useless if you are already working in PR
