Featured Books
This DVD is a wide-ranging look at the human face produced by British television. John Cleese, its host, provides his own unique and entertaining perspectives, along with other celebrities, experts, and scientists. It's an easy way to expose yourself to many issues involving the face, but not in a focussed, in-depth way.
Paul Ekman has thought a lot about emotion and its relation to the face and expression. His latest book has many of his ideas in an accessible text for both the informed layperson and the professional. Professor Ekman's international status as an expert in the fields of expression, emotion, and non-verbal communication make this book a must for all those who work professionally in these areas, whether or not they subscribe to his viewpoints.
This DVD from PBS (1999) is packed with information about the brain, much discovered during the recent surge of research in this area. Part of this documentary concerns the brain's role in emotion. Enough is in this presentation that more can be learned upon repeated viewings, yet it is a pleasant entry into brain science.
Charles Darwin incorporated the study of the face and expression into the framework of natural selection and evolution, thus placing it at the center of biological investigation. His keen observations and incisive thinking remain cogent. Ekman, the editor of this new edition, compulsively collects Darwin's additions and emendations that prior editors left out, and provides some interesting commentary about intervening developments.
