Body Language 101: The Ultimate Guide to Knowing When People Are Lying, How They Are Feeling, What They Are Thinking, and More: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Body Language 101: The Ultimate Guide to Knowing When People Are Lying, How They Are Feeling, What They Are Thinking, and More" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Containing more than 260 illustrations, Body Language 101 serves as a comprehensive dictionary of nonverbal communication. Human behaviorist Lambert uses research from the areas of kinesics, zoology, gender studies, and psychology to demonstrate how people use body language to reinforce speech or indicate their mood. The guide triple-indexes the material, with one section organized by body parts (e.g., arms-linked, legs-crossed), the second by actions and their meanings (e.g., signs of conflict, sincerity, and deceit), and the third by emotions and meanings (e.g., embarrassment, ownership). A particularly interesting chapter covers signs of deceit, with photographs illustrating dishonest gaze behavior and foot actions. This is easily one of the best books on the subject, even surpassing Susan Quilliams Body Language. Highly recommended for all libraries.

Body language (or nonverbal communication) is the means by which humans (and some other animals) convey information through conscious or subconscious gestures, bodily movements or facial expressions.
Body language seems to have three broad uses: as a conscious replacement for speech; to reinforce speech; and as a mirror or betrayer of mood.
USING BODY LANGUAGE INSTEAD OF SPEECH
Nonverbal equivalents of spoken phrases include silent messages of complicity (for example, winking), insults (such as the British V sign, see p. 141) and approval (for instance, the thumbs up, see p. 99).
USING BODY LANGUAGE TO REINFORCE SPEECH
Very often hand gestures are used subconsciously by speakers to reinforce the points that they are making vocally. The signals also reflect their desire that what they are saying should be accepted by their listeners (see pp. 33-42).
BODY LANGUAGE AS A REFLECTION OF MOOD
Some nonverbal signals, such as a happy smile or an angry scowl, are often consciously produced and easily spotted and interpreted. Othersfor example, body pointing and dilated eye pupils (see p. 106)are not conscious signals of mood. Rather, they tend to betray an inner feeling or attitude that the person who signals them is unaware of or wants to conceal. Such signals can be easily missed or misidentified unless seen in their social context or as part of a gesture cluster involving other parts of the body.
Body language is as old as our species, but scientific understanding of it dates mainly from the last few decades, when social psychologists and anthropologists working mostly in the United States began making detailed analyses of its components. There were a few, however, who made studies before the twentieth century.
THE 1600S
The first book on body language appeared more than 350 years ago. John Bulwers Chirologia: or the Naturall Language of the Hand (1644) was a pioneering survey of meaningful hand movements.
THE 1800S
Nineteenth-century teachers of drama and pantomime showed how actors could convey feelings through facial expression and body movement.
1900
Wilhelm Wundt, the German founder of experimental psychology, published Volume 1 of his Volkerpsychologie (Ethnic Psychology), with an important theoretical chapter on the language of gestures.
THE 1800s
An early landmark in the scientific study of nonverbal communication was the naturalist Charles Darwins The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872). This influential work was the first to claim that humans, apes and monkeys express certain emotions by similar facial expressions inherited from a common ancestor. Darwins work inspired research which led to the science of ethology: the study of animal behaviour.
THE 1900S
In 1969, British zoologist Desmond Morris created a popular publishing sensation by giving an ethological interpretation of human actions in his best seller The Naked Ape . In Manwatching and later books and television programmes, Morris again showed how much we owe nonverbal communication to our animal nature.
Kinesics and proxemics form the basis of the modern study of nonverbal communication.
KINESICS
Kinesics is the study of communication by the bodily movements used when people talk to one another.
PIONEERS IN KINESIC STUDIES
Ray L. Birdwhistell , an American anthropologist, pioneered kinesics. He analysed peoples actions by using slow-motion replays of films showing conversations. He published his findings in books including Introduction to Kinesics (1952).
Albert E. Scheflen , an American psychiatrist, also helped pioneer kinesics. He argued that human activity consists of small, regular actions grouped into larger ones. He found that courtship followed a predictable sequence of actions. He also noticed that people assume different postures when including or excluding others in a group, and that individuals postures changed to mirror those of people they agreed with.
Gerhard Nielsen of the University of Copenhagen found that a young American male and his partner followed a 24-stage sequence of actions from his first approach to sexual intercourse.
Edward H. Hess showed that seeing an attractive person or object makes the pupils of the eyes expand.
Paul Ekman , an American researcher, with colleagues Friesen and Wallblatt in 1980, coined several terms for use in kinesics research. These terms are emblem (a symbolic hand movement with a verbal meaning known to a particular group; for example, the thumbs up, see p. 99), illustrator (a hand movement emphasizing speech rhythm; for example, jabbing, see p. 37), and manipulator (a self-reassuring hand movement or one performing an instrumental task; for example, straightening a tie, see pp. 75 and 162).
PROXEMICS
Proxemics is the study of how people use the space around them to convey information nonverbally.
PIONEERS IN PROXEMIC STUDIES
Edward T. Hall , an American anthropologist, invented the word proxemics in the early 1960s. He discovered that the amount of personal space people feel they need depends upon their social situation.
Robert Sommer , an American psychologist, used the term personal space in 1969. It means the comfortable separation zone that people like to keep around them. He listed the uneasy reactions of hospital patients when he intruded upon their personal space.
The majority of the body language described in Collins Gem Body Language is from the Western and Islamic worlds. Research on body language from other parts of the world is less readily available. Even so, a number of African, Asian and Latin American examples have been included.
GENDER- AND CULTURALLY-SPECIFIC BODY LANGUAGE
Often the reader will notice that certain gestures tend to be performed by (or used to comment about) a specific sex or cultural group. The intention is not to be sexist or ethnically biased but, rather, to reflect gestures that are used by real people in the real world.
The repertoire of gestures in this book, though extensive, is not exhaustive, so variations of certain signals or gestures familiar to some readers may not have been included. The same may be said for the interpretations given. The meanings attributed to certain actions can vary from culture to culture and from region to region.
Here, basic facial expressions and hand actions and their meanings are examined. There follows a checklist of most body parts, large and small, expressing body language. The chapter ends by showing that many of the actions we perform are done automatically, so that we are unaware of exactly what we do.
There are at least six facial expressions found throughout the world, which would suggest that they are inborn rather than learned. They are happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, anger and disgust.
Each expression requires a combination and an amazingly subtle rearrangement of features to send a unique and immediately recognizable signal. The three independently mobile parts of the face, involved are: the forehead and eyebrows; the eyes, eyelids and upper part or root of the nose; and the lower face, comprising the rest of the nose, the cheeks, mouth and chin.
