To the many booksellers and readers I have met in my travels who have supported my work: Where would I be without you?

One final note: To truly comprehend the work of face-reading expert Paul Ekman, Ph.D., I recommend reading one or more of his fascinating books, among them Unmasking the Face: A Guide to Recognizing Emotions from Facial Clues, The Facial Action Coding System, and What the Face Reveals: Basic and Applied Studies of Spontaneous Expression Using the Facial Action Coding System (FACS).
