The Dynamics of Persuasion: Communication and Attitudes in the 21st Century (Routledge Communication Series) / Perloff, Richard M.

With substantial revisions reflecting new research and changes in society, the fifth edition of The Dynamics of Persuasion introduces students to major theories of persuasion and attitudes, using theory as the key to unlock the mysteries of contemporary social influence.
