'This book presents a wonderful collection of real life cases, situated in a wide diversity of different professional contexts - online, offline, as well as geographically widespread. However complex these cases may sometimes be, Stephanie Schnurr always manages to analyse them in such an accessible way that I cannot imagine that it would not convince readers to delve deeper into the fascinating world of professional communication.'
