Synopsis
In the everyday, but unspoken give-and-take of human relationships, the silent language plays a vitally important role. Here, a leading American anthropologist has analyzed the many qays in which people talk to one another without the use of words. The pecking order in a chicken yard, the fierce competition in a school playground, every unwitting gesture and action--this is the vocabulary of the silent language. According to Dr. Hall, the concepts of space and time are tools with which all human beings may transmit messages. Space , for example, is the outgrowth of an animal's instinctive defense of his lair and is reflected in human society by the office worker's jealous defense of his desk, or the guarded, walled patio of a Latin-American home. Similarly, the concept of time , varying from Western precision to Easter vagueness, is revealed by the businessman who pointedly keeps a client waiting, or the South Pacific islander who murders his neighbor for an injustice suffered twenty years ago. THE SILENT LANGUAGE shows how cultural factors influence the individual behind his back, wihtout his knowledge. --Erich Fromm, A leading American anthropologist analyzes the many vitally important ways in which people "talk" to one another without the use of words.

- w***e (226)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem received as advertised in new, perfect condition. Shrink wrapped and well packaged for shipment and delivered quickly. The book is in beautiful condition and sold at a fair price. I am very happy with this purchase. Great seller!
- 5***5 (65)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe book arrived quickly and in good condition. It was sealed in plastic and packaged well. The seller took a while to get back to me when I first messaged them, but did ultimately reply. I would buy from this seller again.
- i***m (479)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOverall, my experience was positive. This book was listed as New condition in shrink wrap. The book was most certainly not new - there was a sticker residue on the inside and some pages were stained. The shrink wrap was not placed on it by the publishers. Someone wrapped it in saran wrap later. The book was generally in fine condition and the packaging was sufficient - mailer with cardboard supports. Not sure why listing offers best offer choice if best offer is 1 dollar less than full price.
