Subject: Communication Skills books


_Messages: The Communication Skills Book_ by Matthew McKay, Martha Davis,
and Patrick Fanning, 1983, New Harbinger Publications. How to communicate
effectively, for example showing a difference between aggressive
communication (such as sarcasm) and assertive communication.

-- also:
_How to Argue and Win Every Time_ by Gerry Spence. I like very much
Spence's perspective on stories.
