Books by Edward T. Hall

People like to keep certain distances between themselves and other people or thigns. And this invisible bubble of space that constitutes each person''s "territory" is one of the key dimensions of modern society. Edward T. Hall, author of The Silent Language, introduced the science of proxemics to demonstrate how man''s use of space can affect personal and business reltions, cross-cultural interactions, architecture, city planning, and urban renewal. "One of the few extraordinary books about mankind''s future which should be read by every thoughtful person." —Chicago Tribune"This is a book of impressive genius, replete with unusually sharp observations." —Richard J. Neutra, Landscape Architecture

Leading anthropologist Edward Hall analyzes the many aspects of non-verbal communication amd considers the concepts of space and time as tools for transmission of messages in this fascinating study. The Silent Language is a work of interest to both the intelligent general reader and the sophisticated social scientist.
