Crime is never unpredictable. Before a lie is spoken, a pocket is picked, or an assault is inflicted, there are silent cues: a nonverbal language that speaks loud and clear if you're trained to see it. Filled with fascinating real-life stories of crime and survival, "Crime Signals" is a comprehensive guide designed to help you stay alert to the warning signs of a wide array of offenses. From the telltale signals of a swindler, to the warning signs that experts use to help thwart violent crime and terrorism, "Crime Signals" breaks down a criminal's body language into clear, recognizable symbols. What does a pointed finger tell you about whether someone is lying? Is a shoulder-shrug a safety signal - or a warning of violence? What were the clues that gave away white-collar offenders such as Martha Stewart and Andrew Fastow? Answering these questions and more, David Givens, a foremost expert in nonverbal communication, offers an instructive, intriguing, and essential tool for warding off crime and protecting your safety and your family's.

"Your Body at Work" is a guide to seeing through the words that fill the hallways, conference rooms, and emails of your workplace, and to deciphering their hidden meanings. Through real-life examples from the world of business and background from the science of communication, you will learn to sight-read your colleagues. For example: how a colleague's hand gestures, much more than her words, can tell you how she feels about your presentation; when a shrug of the shoulders can mean the difference between 'job well done' and 'job could be better'; and, how a CEO's gestures tells you, better than any annual report, about his company's bottom line. David Givens has been a consultant to some of the biggest companies in the U.S. With his experience and expertise, he helps you look past the words so you can really read your workplace.
