Reviews

?Through and through, Dialogicality in Development rewards the reader with an engaging mix of history, theory, and qualitative research. Outside the field of psychology, the book will be of particular interest to scholars engaged in semiotics, cultural studies, and interpersonal communication. While loosely grouped, and generally independent of each other, the essays offer an abundance of detail. This enables (actually required) one to gather bits and pieces here and there and fuse these into a narrative that may augment, reinforce, or challenge one's own beliefs.?-Communication Research Trends
