This book interweaves two main topics. One topic is the work and workings of human communication that make it a fit subject for scientific inquiry within an independent discipline, the Communication discipline. The other topic is the history, current agendas, and possible future interests of the social science side of our discipline. The book concludes with attention to how social science inquiry goes about being scientific, and then how our discipline does, when our subject matter is the actions of a self-driving, self-regulating being, an intelligent being with agency. It complicates matters that we social scientists are ourselves beings of the kind we study, making the achievement of scientific detachment a particularly thorny matter. This book assumes that such detachment is possible; probably not by individuals at a time, but at least by scientific communities over time. The book was written to socialize and professionalize graduate students in introductory, gateway Communication courses who are headed for a career on the social science side of the Communication discipline-whether a career as a researcher or theorist, or (along with students on other side(s) of the discipline) scholar, teacher, trainer, or professional communicator. The book can be used as the primary text in such courses, optionally supplemented by primary readings on selected topics; or it can be used as a supplement to more traditional textbooks. In addition, the book's treatment of the workings and work of human communication, and how the Communication discipline has undertaken to examine those, can support the interests of advanced undergraduate students who have elected to concentrate their studies on communication.
