About
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.
