The Hidden Dimension (Anchor Books a Doubleday Anchor Book)

okay

And one I was delighted to find again - Answers a lot of questions about why different cultureshave trouble understanding each other - and we need more of that. Illustration of how various culturesthink and reason is invaluable; as is why we keep backing up or someone else keeps moving forwardwhen engaged in face to face conversation. Yep, you need to know that!

This product has a good cover with nice texture and shiny colors

I thought this book was something pertaining to the paranormal spirit dimension, but, it wasn't. It was more like a guide a psychologist would use for managing people in places.

I discovered this book some decades ago when I was researching a college paper. It has some amazing insights about our own biology and anthropology and how we related to each other and the space around us in every day life. Remembering a book for 40 years and then jumping on it when I found it again, I have to give it five stars.

For an introduction to visual sociology this book is essential. Hall was the most successful pioneer of the usage of photography as sociological evidence. I used many of his examples in my introductory courses in sociology and for today students, his visual samples come always handy and enticing.

The price was amazing but it took a very long time to get to me more thank other books I ordered that same day. Also the cover of the book was not as advertised but the one I received had the came contents

Essential reading for all interested in verbal and nonverbal communication, especially the latter, which, by most reliable research, consists of 80+ percent of human interactions.

THe contents of the book were enlightening and I enjoyed reading it. As I travel worldwide it gave me good information on how to act and re-act with different racial types. However my lower rating was not for the content but for the horrendous presentation.. the printing had a very narrow heading margin, the type was intensely black and tiring to read, The whole book gave the impression of being a rush job with little attention given to presentation. It looked as if it had been printed at home and ina hurry. The authors work deserves better presentation than this.Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki

It seems like the Kindle edition is a (terrible) automated conversion of the physical book. It contains multiple typos, indecipherable extracts and the pages are not even in the right order. Impossible to read. Would definitely ask for a refund if it was possible.

The term "proxemics" was coined by E.T. Hall himself to describe "space as a system of communication". This book dates back to 1966 and, while some content may appear dated, it still remains a must-read for those who are fascinated by the "language of space" in different cultures. What Lebensraum means to the Germans or why an open-door policy is regarded with suspicion in some parts of the world is explained here in Hall's very readable prose. An excellent book!

Great book, not very known but absolutely enlightening.I don't know why we don't study it in faculties of Architecture and Planning.Anyway I recommend this book also to anyone who is curious to understand more about our everyday life in the city and the relationship with people coming from different cultural backgrounds.You will find it surprising!Written in colloquial tones, pleasant and smooth language, handy.

I bought it to a university research and the book is really understandable, and easy to read!I really recommend if you are up to learn about sociology, anthropology and even architecture!Edward T. Hall tells about how man understand spaces around him, and introduces the concept of Proxemics!
