Description
Manwatching by Desmond Morris is a study of human behaviour and body language, examining the gestures, postures, facial expressions and other physical actions people use to communicate. Morris explores how seemingly ordinary movements such as staring, pointing, shrugging and grimacing can convey feelings and messages that may remain unspoken.
Drawing on observations gathered over many years and across different cultures and social settings, Morris catalogues a wide range of human behaviour through lively text accompanied by photographs, drawings and historical prints. He considers how people express themselves in public and private, and how these physical signals reveal aspects of feeling, desire and social interaction.
A good choice for readers interested in human behaviour, body language, psychology, anthropology and the ways people communicate without words.
