The face

"From the Sphinx to the Mona Lisa, from strangers in a crowd to the people we love, the face beguiles us. It is our social signature, our passport into the hearts and minds of those around us, and it provides a constant flow of richly complex information. We rely on its signals, yet they form a language we cannot describe and may not even consciously notice."--BOOK JACKET. "In The Face, bestselling science journalist Daniel McNeill unravels these mysteries. He examines the face from many perspectives - physiological, social, psychological, evolutionary, and artistic - and creates a portrait that is as fascinating as it is illuminating. Drawing on these disciplines, he explores the four great realms of the face: its anatomy, its singularity, its ability to communicate, and its beauty."--Jacket.
