That smells good… Daniel twists his head, searching for the origin as his stomach wakes and reminds him that his last meal was hours ago. Spotting the road side stall, he picks up his pace when the sickening crunch and screams draws his attention.

Just behind him, a child that had come out from an alleyway had rushed out onto the road, chasing an errant flower he had picked.

PREFACE Rationale We agreed to produce the instructor’s manual for the sixth edition of A First Look at Communication Theory because it’s a first-rate book and because we enjoy talking and writing about pedagogy.
