Human Territories
"We drive into a strange neighborhood and roll the windows up. As we talk to a friend, someone passes between us and we feel a surge of terror. In Human Territory, Albert Scheflen and Norman Ashcraft explain some of these reactions. Extensively illustrated with photographs and drawings, this book explores the dimensions of human territoriality and the unconscious rules that govern much of our behavior. We learn the spatial dimensions of why individuals and groups are associated or rejected, and about racial and ethnic communities in urban areas. We see how urbanization itself has distorted territorial rights, and how violations of these rights leads to social unrest, crime and violence. Probing an area largely untouched by social science, Human Territory is a fascinating looks at people, places and time." -- Back cover.
Shared Experiences in Human Communication
A novel approach to traditional subjects, the wide variety of opinions, and the extensive introductory material lift this book out of the ordinary “readings" class, and will reward the reader with understanding and appreciation of a complex subject. This collection of 37 provocative selections on human communication shares with the reader the experience and insights of some of the best minds in the discipline.

Your Clothes Say It for You
This book is about a very controversial subject. We women don't really like to be told what we ought to wear. The only reason I dare to write is that there are women who earnestly want to please God in their appearance. They would do what God wants them to do, if only they were sure they knew what he wanted. It is for these honest, open-minded women who want to please God that I write. God does have a standard for your appearance. If you are ready to find out what it is, then I invite you to turn the page. - p. [9].
Holisms of communication
A central pillar of contemporary communication research is the analysis of filmed interactions between people. The techniques employed in such analysis first took on a recognizably modern form in the 1970s, but their roots go back to the earliest days of motion picture technology in the late nineteenth century. This book presents original essays accompanied by written responses which together create a dialogue exploring early efforts at audio-visual sequence analysis and their common goal to capture the "whole" of the communicative situation. The first three chapters of this volume look at the film-based research of Gestalt psychologists in Berlin as well as psychologists in the orbit of Kar...
Webcam
The use of webcam, especially through Skype, has recently become established as one more standard media technology, but so far there has been no attempt to assess its fundamental nature and consequences. Yet webcam has profound implications for many facets of human life, from self-consciousness and intimacy to the sustaining of long-distance relationships and the place of the visual within social communications. Based on research in London and Trinidad, this book shows how 'always-on' webcam is becoming an entirely different phenomenon from the initial use of webcam as a videophone. Webcam is examined within the framework of 'polymedia' - that is, the new environments created by the simultaneous presence of a multiplicity of communication technologies - and used to exemplify a theory of attainment that accepts media technologies as aspects of, rather than detracting from, our basic humanity.
