      Pearce (human and organization development, Fielding Graduate U.) explains the tools and concepts of CMM (Coordinated Management of Meaning) and analyzes samples of speech from everyday life to demonstrate how the tools of CMM offer special insights into social interactions. He describes the crisis points, paradigms and "physics" of social worlds, communication as a means of coordinating action and making or managing meanings, doing things in communications as speech acts, developing understanding of episodes and patterns of communication, understanding that the self is made in processes of communication and that forms of consciousness emerge as processes of communication as well, and knowing how to build relationships and relational minds. He includes a short "guide" to CMM that can serve as a refresher or self-study review. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
