簡介:

人最感興趣的莫過於自己的身體了。無論我們是否意識到這一點，事實上，我們的身體可謂千姿百態 。在談笑風生中，就算我們全神貫注於交談本身，我們也依然會熱切地觀察對方的身體。

　　《人體秘語》以生動詼諧的文字、大量精彩的圖片資料，細緻分析人類日常行為中所包含的肢體語言及其在種種歷史文化背景中的差異，從而為人與人之間的交流提供更大的可能空間。肢體語言包括姿勢、手勢、表情、身體裝飾、行為舉止等諸多方式，是一種常為人忽視但在現實生活中不可或缺的非語言資訊和交流系統，在許多情況下，由於肢體語言更帶有無意識性，更原始，更難作假，因而比言語更真實地反映人類的某些內在感受和想法。

　　《人體秘語》從頭髮講起直至腳趾，讓讀者洞悉人類身體各部位生理特性，以及可能產生的肢體語言和資訊。

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

At any one time, 90% of the hairs on your head are growing while 10% are inactive, with each hair obeying its own independent life cycle. Shakespeare wore a single earring in one ear, following popular custom. The nose is a voice resonator and bony shield to protect the eyes, in addition to being an organ of smell and taste. These are some of the facts found in this head-to-toe scrutiny of the human body by the author of The Naked Ape. Twenty chapters scan the brow, eyes, mouth, shoulders, breasts, genitals, legs, feet and so forth. This engrossing survey reflects the biases of the "naked ape" school of anthropology criticized by many scientists. Morris argues that baldness is a display signal indicating male dominance "because it is linked with high levels of sex hormone . . . and increases with advancing age." He claims that the female buttocks is the "probable" source of the valentine symbol. Questionable theories like these, often presented as fact, are sprinkled throughout. The 450 color and black-and-white photographs are fun. November 1

Desmond Morris was born in 1928. Educated at Birmingham and Oxford universities, he became the Curator of Mammals at London Zoo in 1959, a post he held for eight years.

In 1967 he published The Naked Ape which has sold over 10 million copies worldwide and has changed the way we view our own species forever.

An accomplished artist, TV presenter, film maker and writer, Desmond Morris's books have been published in over thirty-six countries.

Morris's trick here (as he states in the book) is to get us to look at the human body differently by having us see not the whole, but the parts. And Morris then proceeds to break down each and every part of the human body in depth. Ranging from the obvious (like hands) to the not so obvious (the beard), Morris uses profuse diagrams and photographs to illustrate how special and unique the details of each and every human being really is. Bodywatching is a wealth of knowledge about ourselves. If you are familiar with Morris's other writings, especially Manwatching, you might think that this book is just regurgitating old information, but that is far from the case. While Morris was concentrated on the masses of humans in books like Manwatching and The Naked Ape, in Bodywatching Morris is concerned with the individual alone. It is the difference between watching traffic at rush hour and watching the mechanic work on your car. This book will not fail to astonish even the most introspective person. This is truly a guide of self discovery which Morris has presented us with in Bodywatching.
