Bodytalk: A World Guide to Gestures - Thryft

Deciphering global human gestural language.

Imagine traveling the world and being versed in a secret language – the silent but expressive language of gestures. That's what "Bodytalk" offers. As a reader, you'd find Desmond Morris's rich insight into over 600 gestures a compelling guide, breaking down cultural barriers with each turn of the page. It's a fascinating read, not just for travelers and linguists, but for anyone intrigued by the unspoken dialogue that unites us globally.
