Synopsis

Though it is our most familiar body part, the badge of our identity, our passport into the hearts and minds of others, the face remains unfathomably mysterious. A simple collection of features, it can convey the subtlest flickers of thought and emotion, yet it can mask them as well. Bestselling science journalist Daniel McNeill unravels the mysteries of the face by examining it from the anatomical, social, psychological, evolutionary and artistic perspectives, creating a portrait as compelling as it is illuminating. THE FACE is a captivating discussion of that combination of eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, forehead, and chin that is the most visible window to our minds.
