It covers in depth both the theoretical and practical dimensions of public relations and is a scholarly work of some standing. The book is well researched, provides a judicious selection of theoretical insights without being overwhelming and is brought to life by a good and varied portfolio of case studies. The book is appropriate for under-graduates, post-graduates and practitioners, and is eminently accessible and readable. Harrison skilfully combines academic rigour with relevance.
