Description:
Furrowed brows, wiggled fingers, wrinkled noses, shrugged shoulders with so many rich and varied gestures at our disposal, it s no wonder anthropologists claim at least 90% of all human communication is non-verbal. But what do all of these signs and signals really mean? And what secrets do they reveal about the person you re speaking with? Field Guide to Gestures has the answers.
Whether you re communicating with friends, lovers, co-workers, foreigners, or strangers on the street, this handy guide will help you decipher the mysteries of human gesticulation. It features color photographs of more than 100 different gestures, plus a detailed synopsis explaining each gesture s meanings, origins, and subtle nuances (nodding yes takes on an entirely new meaning in Greece!). It s so chock-full of interesting information, you ll feel compelled to give it two very enthusiastic thumbs up!
