In what ways can health communication be improved through the study and application of rhetoric and the health humanities? \u003ci\u003eCOVID Communication\u003c\/i\u003e fills a gap in the pandemic literature by promoting interdisciplinary analysis of communication methods, realized through a health humanities approach. It centers human experience and culture within conversations about the biological reality of a pandemic. This volume will be a welcome contribution to the scientific investigations and practice of psychology and public health professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterdisciplinary perspective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew insights on how a pandemic is understood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighlights the relevance to important usually neglected relevance for psychology and public health professionals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEndorsements of \u003ci\u003eCOVID Communication\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003e“In      an era of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis,\u003ci\u003e COVID Communication \u003c\/i\u003eprovides      a smart, urgent alternative to our collective downward spiral, not only      offering a fiery critique of our selfish and self-destructive present but      also providing galvanizing, positive visions of what futures we might hope      for.” — Shailendra Saxena, King George’s Medical      University, India; editor of \u003ci\u003eCoronavirus Disease 2019      (COVID-19): Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Therapeutics\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e“\u003ci\u003eCOVID      Communication\u003c\/i\u003e shows that the pandemic affects us not only because it      makes us sick or ruins our economy, but also because of howit is spoken,      written, and thought about, ultimately because of how it is socially      constructed.

The reality, however, is that the responses to the pandemic reflected the      ideologies of national leaders, political leaders, media outlets, and      activists, leading to a fragmented and at times polarized global      discourse. This important work examines the different narratives that      circulated within the information environment to explore how these may      have led to differing levels of trust in politicians, in science, and in      one another. Through an analysis of rhetoric across diverse nations and      platforms, the chapters provide a framework that is crucial for      understanding the interplay between discourse, cognition, and behavior.” —      Darren Lilleker, Bournemouth University, UK; co-editor of \u003ci\u003ePolitical      Communication and COVID-19: Governance and Rhetoric in Times of Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e“This      book presents a collection of must-read scholarly chapters that illustrate      a panoramic view of how people from different countries and cultures      communicate about this global pandemic.  These chapters paint a rich      canvas of thoughts, emotions, reactions, and actions through communication      expressions, ranging from intuitive rhetoric and probing cartoons to      emotional memes and creative advertising.  The book is a great      resource for aiding health communication scholars, instructors,      professionals, journalists, and students in enhancing their COVID-19      research, teaching, practice, reporting, and learning.” — Carolyn A.
