Purchase options and add-ons

In Darwin and Facial Expression, Paul Ekman and a cast of other notable scholars and scientists reconsider the central concepts and key sources of information in Darwin's work on emotional expression. First published in 1972 to celebrate the centennial of the publication of Darwin's The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, Darwin and Facial Expression is the first of three works edited by Dr. Ekman and others on the subject. This Malor edition contains new and updated references. Darwin claimed that we cannot understand human emotional expression without understanding the emotional expressions of animals, as our emotional expressions are in large part determined by our evolution. Not only are there similarities in the appearance of some emotional expressions between man and certain other animals, but the principles that explain why a particular emotional expression occurs with a particular emotion also apply across species.

    Paul Ekman (born February 15, 1934) is an American psychologist who is a pioneer in the study of emotions and their relation to facial expressions. He has created an "atlas of emotions" with more than ten thousand facial expressions, and has gained a reputation as "the best human lie detector in the world".

    He was ranked 59th out of the 100 most cited psychologists of the twentieth century. Ekman conducted seminal research on the specific biological correlates of specific emotions, demonstrating the universality and discreteness of emotions in a Darwinian approach.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book was fantastic. Yes
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2015

This book was fantastic. Yes, as someone else pointed out it does have a good amount of "big" words and as I read it I had the dictionary app on my phone open next to me. It is a great book to understand the fundamentals in facial expressions. It doesnt just preach about Darwin and how great of a man he was, it dives deeper into so much other research.

If your looking for a book to fly through, this is not one of them. This book has a lot of information and it deserves for you to take your time and read it carefully. If you want a book you can breeze through without it challenging your vocabulary or your mind then this is not it. It is a tough read but anything easy isn't worth doing/reading.

I gave this reading a try and I discovered a real gem. From communication and conflict even to understanding trauma (even though not intended fir that purpose) this is a rigorous collection. I hope people will notice further. On Suzanne Chevalier-Skolnikoff's brilliant review, I understand that Lamarckian inheritance is outdated, however there are late studies on famine (the Australian school) and on stress that may thrown some hints that it is not a completely false theory. I wonder what the author thinks about this... Is Lamarckian inheritance theory dead in the water?

I've read unmasking the face by Ekman about 5 times and loved it. This however is a whole different game. This book is not for the everyday man. If you buy it read it next to your laptop with Wikipedia at the ready.

Saw Robin Ince live and he used this book as an example of how being interested to the point of obsession led Darwin to write an entire book about the face. I am a cosmetic practitioner and replace features using tattooing and I found it so useful. The book isn't the exact words of Darwin, it has been updated by other experts due to more recent research but the essence of Darwin is still there.
