A book which bridges the gap between scientific literature
and mass market interest books. The first part covers the usual areas: expressions,
voice, cultural influences, deception etc. and is written by three professors
of NVC. Part two is a series of essays covering different areas in which NVC is
used. Written by experts in their fields it covers the applying of the science
of NV behaviour to the likes of aviation security, police, medical practice and
the courtroom. The book is edited by three leading authorities and research and
scientific knowledge underpins the writing. The results is a true scientist -
practitioner model, blending behavioural science with real-world practical
experience, thus making this text the first of its kind to merge theoretical
and practical worlds. This book is a valuable resource for students and
professionals as it explores the science behind the practice and reveals how
other professionals have effectively incorporated nonverbal communication into
their fields. An excellent text or supplement for courses/seminars in nonverbal
behaviour, nonverbal communication, human interaction, profiling, security
management, and homeland security, as well as courses in interviewing and
qualitative analysis.
