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 course covering international business. |
