A renowned expert in nonverbal communication, Paul Ekman has led a
revolution in our scientific understanding of emotions. Now he
assembles his pathbreaking research and theories in a comprehensive
look at human emotional life. Emotions Revealed explores the
evolutionary essence of anger, sadness, fear, surprise, disgust,
contempt, and happiness. In the process, he answers such questions as: What triggers emotions
and can we stop them? How does our body signal to others whether we are
slightly sad or anguished, peeved or enraged? Can we learn to
distinguish between a polite smile and the genuine thing? Unique
exercises and photographs help readers identify emotions in themselves
and others. Emotions Revealed is a practical, mind-opening, and
potentially life-changing exploration of science and self.

Indispensable Bible for Writing or Editing!,
January 23, 2008
This book covers it all. If you are serious about your writing or the
writing of others, this book is one-stop shopping. After editing for
over twenty years, this book taught me how to not only think like a
writer and editor, but to also think like a business person. It covers
what references are needed and why, how to edit in an organized manner,
and how to maintain consistency and clarity in any document. This book
also covers electronic, PDF, and PowerPoint editing. Online references
are given for quick assistance while in the process of writing or
editing. Also, there's a test included as to focus on what the writer
or editor's weaknesses are. This book is amazingly up-to-date and
covers most needs for the serious wordsmith.
