People and other animals like to keep certain distances
between themselves and others, as well as things. This invisible bubble of
space that constitutes each person’s “territory” is one of the key dimensions
of modern society. The Hidden Dimension looks at distance regulation in
animals, their crowding and social behaviour, before turning to distance in man,
or the “four distances”. The extensive coverage of cross-cultural proxemics was
ground-breaking.
