Gestures: The Do's and Taboos of Body Language Around the World

Never use your thumb to hitchhike in Nigeria; and under no circumstances 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 the intricacies of Japanese bowing to the best way to signal a waiter in southern Europe, this book is vital for an international traveler. Cartoon illustrations.
