Nonverbal Communication: An Applied Approach 1st Edition has taken a narrative style and applied approach that is informed by the important theories and research-driven knowledge of this interdisciplinary area of study. Jonathan M. Bowman's approach encourages students to understand the relevancy of nonverbal codes right away, instead of waiting until the second half of the course to explore applications.
