What you get when
you buy FACS:
- One CD ROM containing the FACS Manual in eBook format with text, images, and video, and also containing:
- the Investigator's Guide, in eBook format, expanded with new chapters, and
- the FACS Score Checker program for checking practice scoring.
- A license to print one hardcopy of each book (additional licenses may be purchased),
- Some of the latest versions of the software required to view the books and run the Score Checker,
- Access to the coming FACS section of this Web site where additional FACS materials can be downloaded.
Please note that FACS is sold on a license basis,
similar to other software and creative works.
See the License page
for a copy of this license.
Also, as in other software
purchases, we allow returns only for unreadable or damaged disks, and only for exchange.
Computer System Considerations
The Manual and Investigator's Guide are designed for
use with Adobe® Acrobat Reader® or eBook Reader®. To
view the multimedia items, appropriate multimedia players must be
installed. To run the FACS Score Checker program, an appropriate Java
runtime must be installed. Various systems have different capacities
to run this required software. For details on system considerations,
consult the System
Support page. To summarize these limitations, you will have no trouble with any features if you have a relatively recent computing system, except for Linux®
systems where some tuning of file associations may be required and only multimedia viewers external to the PDF viewer are currently supported. |
Preview the new FACS:
HTML versions of the Contents and the first two chapters from the FACS Manual
are available online.The first five chapters from the
Investigators Guide
are also online for
people who are considering FACS and want to know more.
These two preview chapters give a good idea of what FACS is like.
You must use a 4.x version Web browser or above and have an
MPEG 1 viewer to see the videos.
(Please note the following about the HTML versions
online here: The demonstration HTML versions allow the reader
to preview the content of Facial Action Coding System, but the CD ROM version is different
and better in format, function, and quality of multimedia.
The demonstrations contain much lower
resolution images, and down-scaled 1/4 size videos that are only in MPEG 1 format
in order to facilitate Web presentation.
The text formatting and page layout differs from the CD ROM eBook version.
The CD ROM version is in PDF, not HTML.
Some functional aspects, such as link and multimedia viewing options, also differ.
Some pages referenced in the demonstration versions are not available online here.)
