  • “the human connection” by ashley montagu and floyd matson

    "Human communication, 'as the saying goes, is a clash of symbols' it covers a multitude of signs. But it is more than media and messages, information and persuasion; it also meets a deeper need and serves a higher purpose.

It is, in short, the essential human connection."
