The Language of the body(
Visual
)
6 editions published between 1999 and 2015 in English and held by 162 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Although humans can make more than 3,000 hand gestures, even the simplest has numerous variations and interpretations. This program catalogs not only hand gestures, both friendly and insulting, but facial expressions, head shakes, and body distance as well - and the misunderstandings that can occur when body language is transported across cultural lines. Suppression of body language is also discussed, along with "nonverbal leakage," in which the body's language can belie a speaker's words
