This textbook is helpful in terms of the basic principles in the the field of nonverbal, human communication. The chapters are divided into easy to understand categories of body language such as physical appearance, eye behavior, touch, space and territory etc. Subsequent chapters involve a more quantitative, holistic, and practical approach such chapters devoted to: female-male, supervisor-subordinate, intercultural nonverbal relationships. The research presented is also current.

This book provides a decent overview. It refuted some of the more prevalent myths about "body language". However, the bang was simply not worth the buck. The paperback edition is published with what can only be surmised to be photographs of the authors' home and students as illustrations and examples. This book is a little too home-grown.

Product was exactly as described with very quick shipping. I would definitely buy from this sellar again.

I bought the book because the instructor required us to have it for the Nonverbal Communication course. Boring! I might have learned a few new words, and understand a little more of the process of nonverbal communications, but I would much rather have read a book written differently.
