The book entitled the Definitive Guide to Body Language...
Surely this isn't really reductionistic - it 'reduces' things that nobody was previously attaching any significance to?

The book "reduces" body language to more biological or primitive urges, in part...

your post reminded me about that book Blink that I was reading in Cali. It interestingly reduced a lot of things to the first split second impression/impulse you get from a situation.

Ah, that's another good example. Perhaps I'll have to pick that book up and read it.

On a related note, my HU3120 class reading on typography and Gestalt psychology discusses similar topics; that way the prof can teach us to use visual elements to improve the rhetorical power of the documents we create. Cool beans.
