Book Synopsis
Gesturing is such an integral yet unconscious part of communication that we are mostly oblivious to it. This is a project in the study of the relationship of how we communicate and its connection to thought. This book influences all subsequent linguistic and evolutionary theory on the subject.

Trade Review
"What he is passionate about is the very stuff you would do if you put this paper down and started to explain to someone nearby what you were reading about - in other words, 'the spontaneous, ephemeral, made-up-on-the-fly' gesturing you do all day, maybe even in your dreams, though you probably barely notice it. And you probably never gave it a second's thought, although to McNeill it is a snapshot of your thinking, a window to your mind, the best way - without neurosurgery - of getting to peek inside your brain." - Barbara Mahaney, Chicago Tribune"
