Editorial Reviews
Review
This book is essential reading in philosophy of mind and cognitive science. Highly recommended.

This book makes a fresh and important contribution to many debates within cognitive science….Body Language will―and should―alter the categories and distinctions we currently use to discuss the boundaries between thought, perception, action and the world.
