Annotation (barnesandnoble.com) "Seven hand purses, six handshakes, five little-finger erects, four hand-horn signs, three middle-finger jerks are among some 600 gestures included in Desmond Morris's Bodytalk: The Meaning of Human Gestures, each of which is illustrated and annotated with meaning, action, background and locality. Some are so universal they transcend cultural barriers-the unconscious ''hair groom'' that signals attraction, for example. Others are nationally specific, like the ''mouth-and-forehead salaam'' that signals respect in Arab cultures or the ''hands orifice'', a Neapolitan sexual insult. "
