A propos de cet article

f/piece++xiii+443, 2 8 pp.blocks of plates and one 2 pp., all ex-pagination, numerous text ills. of various kinds numbered by chapter. No obvious faults with the book - clean, tight unmarked in bright unworn covers; unclipped jacket clean and unworn bar a short tear top front outer corner (now repaired internally and virtually invisible), will apply protective sleeve when ordered. An exceptionally interesting multi-disciplinary work originating in meetings under W.H.Thorpe's chairmanship at request of the Royal Society, culminating in a Ciba Foundation event in September 1970. Topics range from communication in lower vertebrates and invertebrates (Thorpe) to acting (Miller) and art (Gombrich, taking in anthropology and social psychology en route (e.g. Leach and Argyle). Alas no women involved as far as I can see ! Note: quoted shipping rates are calculated for 500-700 gram net weight, cost will be modified up or down as appropriate outside this range.

Synopsis

The importance in social relationships of the exchange of information by non-verbal gestures and expressions, though long appreciated by artists and writers, has only recently become the subject of serious scientific study. The subject has been approached from different angles by psychologists studying the relevance of non-verbal communication to interpersonal relationships, by anthropologists interested in how these processes help to integrate societies, and by ethologists extrapolating the results of animal studies to human behaviour. The scope of the volume ranges from formal analysis of the communication process by an information theorist (Professor Mackay) and by a linguist (Professor Lyons), to accounts of the role of expression in the theatre (Dr Jonathan Miller) and in the visual arts (Professor Gombrich). There are contributions to the discussion written from the point of view of the zoologist, the ethologist, the psychologist and anthropologist.
