The Gesture Speech of Man: An Address (1881)

""The Gesture Speech of Man: An Address"" is a book written by Garrick Mallery and originally published in 1881. The book explores the use of gestures in human communication, specifically focusing on the ways in which gestures can convey meaning and emotion. Mallery draws from a range of sources, including historical accounts of gesture use in different cultures, as well as his own observations of contemporary gesture use. The book argues that gestures are an essential part of human communication and that they can convey a great deal of information that is not easily expressed through words alone. Mallery's work is considered an important contribution to the study of nonverbal communication and is still widely cited and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
