Nonverbal Messages Tell More: A Practical Guide to Nonverbal Communication offers an active and dynamic  approach to the field of nonverbal communication. The study of nonverbal cues and messages is a difficult  undertaking, but Teri and Michael Gamble have put together a volume that approaches the study of nonverbal  communication from a variety of perspectives. Nonverbal Messages Tell More bridges the relevance gap by making the text more accessible and interesting to students of all levels. It does so by highlighting  examples of nonverbal behavior taken from popular culture, including film, television, and broadcast and print  news. This volume provides an overview of the classic and contemporary research and theory for nonverbal  communication. It contains a number of features, including experiential guidelines and activities that give  students better self-insight and understanding of the nonverbal messages other individuals display. At the  end of every chapter is a series of follow-up investigations designed to demonstrate mastery of the content  and the ability to apply what was just learned. Nonverbal Messages Tell More also provides the necessary  know-how for presenting oneself using nonverbal cues that encourage others to perceive one as personable  and credible. It leaps ahead of other books on the subject by offering students an engaging, practical, and  useful introduction to the study of nonverbal communication.
