Rethinking Body Language
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-415-53889-3 (ISBN)
This ground-breaking book takes body language analysis to a whole new level. Engagingly written by one of the leading experts in the field, it shows how we can detect deception in gesture–speech mismatches and how these unconscious movements can give us real insight into people's underlying implicit attitudes.
