Summary: This book offers a comprehensive account of human communication, arguing that it is not primarily a matter of words but rather a multi-modal experience involving touch, olfaction, audition, and vision. Drawing on research from linguistic and sensory anthropology, material culture, non-verbal communication, computer-mediated communication, and animal communication, Finnegan presents illuminating examples from around the world. She uncovers an array of sounds, sights, smells, gestures, looks, movements, touches, and material objects used by humans to connect both nearby and across space and time.
