Emotion in the Human Face

by Paul Ekman

Paul Ekman's edited volume on facial expression research, collecting the work behind his claim that a set of basic emotions is expressed and recognised across cultures. It includes the cross-cultural studies, including work with the Fore of Papua New Guinea, and the groundwork for the Facial Action Coding System that measures expression by individual muscle movements. A research collection rather than a popular book, and the universality claim remains contested.
