Items in this Dictionary have been researched by anthropologists, archaeologists,
biologists, linguists, psychiatrists, psychologists, semioticians, and others who have
studied human communication from a scientific point of view. Every effort has
been made to cite their work in the text. Definitions, meanings, and interpretations
left uncredited are those of the author. Gestures and consumer products with current trademark registrations are identified with the ® symbol.

What people say is often very different from what they think or feel–but how do you tell? The answer lies in the study of body language. A person's gestures are very accurate indicators of his or her attitudes, thoughts, desires, or emotions.

This book examines aspects of non-verbal communication in a wide variety of everyday contexts. It discusses techniques that show you how to interpret gestures correctly and thus to 'read' the underlying thoughts or emotions.
