Michael Argyle
Nonverbal communication is one of the most fascinating areas of contemporary social psychology. Paralinguistic aspects of communication - eye-movements, nods, facial expressions, gestures, postures - are an intrinsic part of any social confrontation. In this intensely readable book Michael Argyle, a pioneer and a leader in the field, gives a wide-ranging general account of the phenomena and their significance. The book is written not just for social psychologists but for anyone interested in these familiar, necessary, intriguing and sometimes comic features of everyday social life.

Sandor S. Feldman $12.00(paperbacl<, $4.45)
"This is a valuable book, written by a well-known analyst not only for professional persons, but for anyone interested in clearer self-understanding.

Body and Mature Behavior
A Study of Anxiety, Sex, Gravitation and Learning M. Feldenkrais $8.50 (paperback, $3.45) "Feldenkrais advances the thesis that-j study and re-education of muscular behavior patterns, along with the analysis of the mental processes, are more effective in the understanding and treatment of emotional problems. He also makes a plea for the study and treatment of the organism as a whole, with emphasis on the re-education of the faulty muscular patterns, as well as reeducation of the psychic reaction pattern."
- New England Journal of Medicine
"The author. . . points out that treatment of personality disorders has tended to sp.lit into two camps: one of modern dynamic theories, and another, the camp exemplified by Yogi, which stresses voluntary efforts at relaxation and retraining of muscular patterns in the direct attempt to influence mental processes. Feldenkrais considers that a great number of people have been helped by the latter method as well as by the former. The book is essentially an effort to bridge the gap between these two viewpoints."

Human Relations in Modern Industry
Revised Edition
Rodger F. Tredgold $8.50
"A sound, interesting, and beautifully simple presentation [that] . . . can be recommended quite without reservation Personnel executives can hardly afford to overlook any publication that reliably puts forth a basis for understanding the stresses on people at work and for developing an improved environment in business and industry.

- Personnel Journal
"Simple, direct and fundamental, it could well be recommended to a director of training who has to sell the warehouse foreman on the necessity for the use of human relations in industry . . . [or] to small industries where the concept of the value of these directions has been slow in being accepted. In these and many other areas it would be a very helpful handbook." - Social Service Review
