</i><p><i>The Handbook of Communication Science and Biology </i>charts the state of the art in the field, describing relevant areas of communication studies where a biological approach has been successfully applied. The book synthesizes theoretical and empirical development in this area thus far and proposes a roadmap for future research.</p>
<p>As the biological approach to understanding communication has grown, one challenge has been the separate evolution of research focused on media use and effects and research focused&nbsp; on interpersonal and organizational communication, often with little intellectual conversation between the two areas. <i>The Handbook of Communication Science and Biology </i>is the only book to bridge the gap between media studies and human communication, spurring new work in both areas of focus.</p>
<p>With contributions from the field's foremost scholars around the globe, this unique book serves as a seminal resource for the training of the current and next generation of communication scientists, and will be of particular interest to media and psychology scholars as well.</p>
