书籍介绍

Peoplewatching is the culmination of a career of watching people – their behaviour and habits, their personalities and their quirks. Desmond Morris shows us how people, consciously and unconsciously, signal their attitudes, desires and innermost feelings with their bodies and actions, often more powerfully than with their words.

Consisting of his timeless classic Manwatching , completely revised and updated, with much new material gathered since the book’s original publication, and for the first time incorporating the text of Bodywatching, this new edition is set to become the definitive “body language bible”.

Lavishly illustrated throughout with line drawings and two 16pp colour plate sections, Peoplewatching is a handsomely designed and fitting tribute to one of the most thought-provoking and popular scientists of his day.

德斯蒙德·莫里斯

列一段“衣着信号”中的话:穿上衣服而不发出社会信号是不可能的。每一种服装都会显露出与穿该种服装的人有关的、时常还很微妙的一些情况。 …… 这种打猎装束一旦定型为当时的高级身份运动服装,它也就成了闲暇和无需工作的同义表示。由于具有这样的吸引力,当时的“年轻贵族”就以它作为时髦的打扮…… 渐渐的它又为更多的人所接受,其时髦意味也就消失了。所以,到了19世纪中叶,“高顶加燕尾服”经过稍稍改装,变成了一般的日常衣着。 既然,这种服饰已变得极为普通,也就失去了原有的高级身份性质,于是一种新的运动场所又成为“新潮”时装的掠取对象,这次,它选中了射击、钓鱼和高尔夫…… 由此想到Apple的i系列产品,不也是同样的应用了此现象吗?!
