This book underestimates your capacity. 1 out of 5 stars.
27 of 27 people found this review helpful.

Despite the title, this book does not have more than five or six paragraphs with actual instructions on people watching. It mostly talks about the usefulness of people watching and never gets to the point. The text is very brief and its intellectual level is below the average; the author assumes that the reader has less than mediocre emotional and verbal intelligence. I would be ashamed if someone found this book in my library, so I threw it away.

money & time wasted 1 out of 5 stars.

believe me: doesn't worth your money and time.
Any useful tips, any logical scheme, just teached me to look at people, anywhere, and - surprise surprise - we are different one each other ! In few words, I soon realized to have purchased a "Someone's Guide to Everybody Watching" !
I was so delighted that within Nov. 6 2004 I'm gifting that copy under simply email request for FREE - it's New - and I'll dispatch it worldwide if you'll pay postal expenses; after Nov. 6, then I'll throw it away in the bin.

Editorial Review:

People watching is as old as the human race. Beginning as a survival function - watching for signals of friend or foe - people watching now provides a wealth of information about the world around us and the creatures that inhabit it. Dr Wolfgang shows us how to sharpen our people watching skills and explores the degree to which culture influences what and how we see.

extremely useful reference tome 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

While the Mammoth Dictionary of Symbols probably isn't the most complete resource for the various symbolisms of different cultures and the significance of everything from an apple to the zodiac, it's definitely the best overview. Writing is clear, concise, and interesting, and I love to open my copy and simply peruse a bit, learning new things about shapes and numbers that I see every day.

If you're in to fiction in a major way, this can be an extremely useful reference. While reading Dorothy Dunnett this past summer, I found it very helpful to keep my Dictionary of Symbols nearby, so I could look up some of her more obscure references and reoccuring symbols. This book is the perfect size, too- thick but light, small enough to be comfortable carrying around but large enough not to seem terribly abridged. The paperback format is reasonably sturdy (for paperback), and my pages haven't creased or dogeared yet. Simple black-and-white illustrations in clean, concise lines provide visual references that makes a lovely addition. Not the choice if you're looking to write a 5000 word research paper on the history of the chimera, but if you simply want to know what one is, where it came from, and the significance of it in one short paragraph, this is the book for you.

Editorial Review:

This amazing and essential work brings together all the symbolic systems of the world. Highly regarded educator Nadia Julien deciphers the shapes, signs and images in which mankind has expressed thoughts, feelings and eternal truths. Cataloged, classified and clarified here are the multitude of coded meanings invested in objects, plants and animals by the world's cultures throughout history. Illustrations.

Editorial Review:

Why do people gesture while speaking? What role does this activity play in verbal exchanges? Which kind of relationship does it exhibit between the verbal and the gestural domains? This book attempts to answer these questions by surveying research on gestures done from various perspectives: psycho- and sociolinguistics, ethology, social, cognitive, and developmental psychology, and neuropsychology. This large coverage makes it unique in the field. Furthermore, the delineation of several approaches to the topic yields a clearer picture of their respective contributions than a commitment to a single view.

Editorial Review:

A distinguished international cast of scholars discusses models of gesture and non-verbal communication as they apply to Greek and Roman culture, literature and art. Topics include dress and costume in the Homeric poems; the importance of looking, eye-contact, and face-to-face orientation in Greek society; the construction of facial expression in Greek and Roman epic; the significance of gesture and body language in the visual meaning of ancient sculpture; the evidence for gesture and performance style in the texts of ancient drama; the erotic significance of feet and footprints; and the role of gesture in Roman law. The volume seeks to apply a sense of history as well as of theory in interpreting non-verbal communication. It looks both at the cross-cultural and at the culturally specific in its treatment of this important but long-neglected aspect of Classical Studies.

Editorial Review:

In a new technique called facilitated communication, noncommunicative individuals who are autistic and mentally retarded are said to type astonishing communications on a keyboard. Despite the abundant evidence that the communications originate from the "facilitators" who hold the hands of the disabled individuals or otherwise have contact with them--and who are unaware and deny that they are guiding the clients' hands--this technique is forcefully defended and indeed is growing in popularity throughout the world.

For many, the popularity of this method in the face of overwhelming negative evidence is surprising and mystifying, but this book portrays facilitated communication as merely the latest in a long line of phenomena described and explained by scientists since the early nineteenth century. Following the evolutionary development of consciousness, nonconscious (involuntary) muscle movements persisted as a favored trait because they freed consciousness for greater information processing. However, this book demonstrates how nonconscious movements can also become unwitting instruments for the expression of ideas, wishful thinking, and inner conflict, in the form of automatic writing, mind reading, swaying pendulums, clever animals, agitated tables, active dowsing sticks, prescient Ouija boards, and most recently, facilitated communication. Unfortunately, nonconscious movements have been recruited by the mind to support wishful thinking and fixed ideas. The field is witnessing an extraordinary example of this recruitment, and consequently it provides rich fodder for scientific study concerning the nature of consciousness and the roles played by self-deception and wishful thinking.
