5.0 out of 5 stars An important work on the design of built environments for human utility

K.R.P. · January 1, 2024

This is an old but very important report of research on how the built environment affects human interactions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Rare Book from my long-ago college days -

p.c.t. · October 2, 2019

And one I was delighted to find again - Answers a lot of questions about why different cultureshave trouble understanding each other - and we need more of that. Illustration of how various culturesthink and reason is invaluable; as is why we keep backing up or someone else keeps moving forwardwhen engaged in face to face conversation. Yep, you need to know that!

5.0 out of 5 stars Memorable insights

A.M. · September 27, 2016

I discovered this book some decades ago when I was researching a college paper. It has some amazing insights about our own biology and anthropology and how we related to each other and the space around us in every day life. Remembering a book for 40 years and then jumping on it when I found it again, I have to give it five stars.

L.P. · February 8, 2018

For an introduction to visual sociology this book is essential. Hall was the most successful pioneer of the usage of photography as sociological evidence. I used many of his examples in my introductory courses in sociology and for today students, his visual samples come always handy and enticing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A study of physical spaces in different settings between people

G.W. · May 24, 2020

I thought this book was something pertaining to the paranormal spirit dimension, but, it wasn't. It was more like a guide a psychologist would use for managing people in places.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Context is Interesting

D. · April 2, 2014

For the context I cannot say much, because of the special topic which is clear scientific, but the quality of pare is not too good!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book

A.C. · March 17, 2020

Usé este libro para una materia en la universidad relacionada a la sociología y me dió información muy concreta y práctica para mi trabajo de investigación

As expected!

J.G. · November 4, 2019

Product was received as presented, shipping was fast. Would recommend.

tough read, valuable information

A.H. · December 19, 2022

since the book is already quite old, the language used is often not easily understood, especially when english is not the first language. The layout is also outdated. Nonetheless the content of the book is very interesting and has the potential to change one's perception of perception and human life in general. The author mentions the reasons for the most common types of intercultural conflict, which is knowledge everyone that seeks harmonious relationships has to know. Recommended!

Great Book

An introduction to proxemics

S. · August 31, 2011

The term "proxemics" was coined by E.T. Hall himself to describe "space as a system of communication". This book dates back to 1966 and, while some content may appear dated, it still remains a must-read for those who are fascinated by the "language of space" in different cultures. What Lebensraum means to the Germans or why an open-door policy is regarded with suspicion in some parts of the world is explained here in Hall's very readable prose. An excellent book!
