Peoplewatching cover

Combining Morris' timeless classic Manwatching, completely revised and updated, with the text of his Bodywatching, this new edition is set to become the definitive 'body language bible'.

Peoplewatching is the culmination of a career of watching people - their behaviour and habits, their personalities and their quirks. Desmond Morris shows us how people, consciously and unconsciously, signal their attitudes, desires and innermost feelings with their bodies and actions, often more powerfully than with their words.Peoplewatching is the culmination of a career of watching people - their behaviour and habits, their personalities and their quirks.
