Slow Read But Worth the Wait
| Customer Rating: | | this book is an excellent source for information on nonverbal communication. it presents some ideas in a way that I have never heard them discussed before. this book is a little difficult to read through if you are not interested in the subject, but the quality of the information is wonderful. |
Great information, uninspiring presentation
| Customer Rating:  | | I can't argue with the reviewers who point out that Knapp and Hall are two very distinguished scholars who know their stuff. I also can't argue with the fact that this book is very thorough, jam-packed with fascinating information, and one of the most useful guides you can get about the many different aspects of nonverbal human communication. What I will say is that this book is painfully DULL. The authors try to liven things up by adding a humorous story or a joke on occasion, but the feel of the book remains like a textbook in the worst possible sense. It's faceless, lifeless, and hard to finish. It's a crime that such fascinating information has to be delivered in such a dry, tiresome style. Get this book if you're interested in nonverbal, but also keep a cup of coffee handy. |
If you're going to buy one book on Non-Verbal Communication...
| Customer Rating: | I've recently become fascinated with the subject of non-verbal communication -- both as a scientific/psychological/anthropological discipline, and as a way to improve real life communication skills -- and I can honestly say whether your interest in 'body language' is scientific or practical, buy this book. I've bought many, many books on the subject and even purchased a home-study course on body language, and in my opinion this is the most comprehensive single volume on non-verbal communication available. The knowledge within this book is easy to practically apply and scientifically sound.
Other great books on the subject include:
Fundamentals of Non-Verbal Behavior (Ed. Feldman and Rime)
Unmasking the Face (Paul Ekman -- featured in 'Nonverbal Communication in Human Interaction)
The Hidden Dimension (Hall)
The Silent Language (Hall)
The application of reading body language in photographs found in Kevin Hogan's Body Language course ([...]) is really valuable as well, and his practical suggestions for improving one's own communication are a smart distillation of what could easily have become a cumbersome amount of information in this area, but for detailed and thorough scientific work in the study and application of Body Language, start with Mark Knapp! Highly Recommended!!! |
Great Resource for Researchers
| Customer Rating: | This is a terrific compilation of research into nonverbal communication. It is a thoroughly sourced review of writings on nonverbal topics, tending toward a psychological, academic tone.
Note: If you are seeking original research, Knapp's and Hall's book would be a good reference aid. However, in this work they are content to primarily synthesize the work of others. That said, they do a marvelous job of collecting and reporting on a wealth of valuable insights. |
Classic work in the field of nonverbal communication
| Customer Rating: | | Dr. Knapp has been a distinguished scholar in the field of communication for the past 35 years. This is a very small sampling of his honors: He is a Fellow of the International Communication Association and has served as its President. He received the Distinguished Scholar Award from the Speech Communication Association in l993 and served as President of that association in l989-90. Dr. Knapp is the author of many articles and several books besides this one, including: Interpersonal Communication and Human Relationships (with A. Vangelisti) and Handbook of Interpersonal Communication (with G. Miller). Dr. Knapp has acted as consultant, lecturer, and trainer for over fifty different business organizations, voluntary groups, and government agencies. He is currently a Professor in the Communication Department at the University of Texas at Austin. ... Dr. Hall has also been a well-respected scholar for over 20 years. She obtained her Ph.D. at Harvard and is a professor in the Department of Psychology at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, where she teaches social-personality psychology, interpersonal and nonverbal communication, gender differences and health psychology. She has published many scholarly articles and books on the subject of nonverbal communication... Nonverbal Communication in Human Interaction is a textbook used in communication and psychology departments at universities all over the country. It is considered a classic work in the field of nonverbal communication. Whether you are just beginning to read about this topic or you have studied it extensively, this book will be useful to you. There is an index, a comprehensive table of contents, extensive footnotes and lists of further readings on this subject at the end of every chapter. In short, if you read this book, you can be sure that you have gained thoroughly accurate, up-to-date and comprehensive information on the subject of nonverbal communication. I cannot recommend it highly enough. |
