I put this on here because I have the videos with John Cleese and figure the book covers the same topics. The video's are great and cover the psychological aspects of symmetry and proportion. How the traditionally beautiful and physically extreme proportioned people get along in modern society.

This book is full of pictures that show how our faces as humans evolved over time. It goes into interesting subjects like beauty and facial expressions and why we find certain features attractive on one another.It also goes into our obsession with celebrity faces.You will learn a lot from this book.Like did you know that it is believed that a human can make about 7,000 discreet facial expressions? You didn't,don't lie.

Based on a television mini-series. For the social psychologist in us all. Or maybe that's just me.
