"Praise for the second edition: ‘This is an intriguing exploration of the many means that we use to communicate, not only utilizing our language ""sense"" but all of our senses to give and receive messages. With many empirical and literary examples, it deepens our understanding of ourselves.’ Nancy Bonvillain, Bard College at Simon’s Rock, USA Praise for the first edition: 'It's an ideal work for students of anthropology, cultural studies and of course, communication, but would also be of interest to anyone who wants an insight into how human beings work with each other, and how far we have come in achieving this.' Peter Taylor-Whiffen, The Independent"
