Book Synopsis
Through the pioneering work of Duchenne de Boulogne, Franois Delaporte provides a remarkable philosophical and historical examination of expressive physiology during the mid-19th century, and considers the science of emotion as a means of revealing inner life-thoughts, feelings-upon the surface of the face.

Trade Review
