Gestures

Description

Never use your thumb to hitch-hike in Nigeria; it could be hazardous to your health. And under no circumstances should you indicate “OK” to a German using your thumb and forefinger to form a circle–that would be rude. This revised and expanded edition of Gestures covers body language from head to toe–from greetings, beckonings, and farewells, to terms of endearment and insults. Covering everything from the intricacies of Japanese bowing to the best way to signal a waiter in southern Europe, this book is vital for any international traveler.
