This was a very helpful book in a Visual Gestural Communication class as part of an American Sign Language program. You can learn to communicate with anyone using the principles in this book regardless of language barriers. Gil Eastman is a very well known person in the Deaf Community and this is a classic book on teaching facial expressions and body language to communicate.The book is about 180 pages long with many photographs to complement the subject areas. Eastman goes over all types of miming or gesturing such as polite gesturing to others; gesturing to represent three dimensional objects, foods, people, and animals; gesturing to represent emotions with your hands and facial expressions; objects and people in action; and storytelling. It is a well rounded book for anyone interested in Sign Language.
This book was recommended to me because I was looking for a sign book showing like hand shapes.The book is not about hand shapes but about miming. I found it repeated facial expression foreverything. I believe that facial expressions and body language are major parts of ASL. Thevariations of facial expressions are limited; they are repeated depending on context.
I'm glad to see this book come back in print. I will use it in teaching beginning sign language.
It is very useful if your taking a Visual Gestural Communications Class. I only wish they included the videotapes.
The book got here on time and looked like it was in good condition, but when i got to class and opened it the binding fell apart! I would say about 40 pages just fell out. So I had to go get the binding taken out and fixed..
