Synopsis
Shows us the science behind the hit series Lie to Me: the Truth is Written on our Faces
This is the only book helps you read faces, and interpret their emotions, in an easy-to-read visual format. There are hundreds of illustrations which show how to tell what someone is experiencing.

Ekman is the king Vincent Harris --
Synopsis
Ekman and Friesen's breakthrough research on the facial expression of emotion is richly illustrated with photographs depicting surprise, fear, disgust, anger, happiness and sadness. The authors explain how to identify these basic emotions correctly and how to tell when people try to mask, simulate or neutralize them. The book features several practical exercises that can help actors, teachers, salesmen, counselors, nurses, law-enforcement personnel and physicians - and everyone else who deals with people - become adept, perceptive readers of the facial expressions of emotions.
