Synopsis "Darwin and Facial Expression: A Century of Research in Review"

In Darwin and Facial Expression, Paul Ekman and a cast of other notable scholars and scientists, reconsider the central concepts and key sources of information in Darwin s work on emotional expression. First published in 1972 to celebrate the centennial of the publication of Darwin s, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, it is the first of three works edited by Dr. Ekman and others on the subject. This Malor edition contains new and updated references. Darwin claimed that we cannot understand human emotional expression without understanding the emotional expressions of animals, as our emotional expressions are in large part determined by our evolution. Not only are there similarities in the appearance of some emotional expressions between man and certain other animals, but the principles which explain why a particular emotional expression occurs with a particular emotion also apply across species. Paul Ekman is co-author of Unmasking the Face (Malor Books, 2003) and more than thirteen other titles. He is professor emeritus of psychology in the department of psychiatry at the University of California Medical School, San Francisco and a frequent consultant on emotional expression to the FBI, the CIA, the ATF, as well as the animation studios Pixar and Industrial Light and Magic._,

Paul Ekman (Washington D. C., 1934) is an American psychologist, pioneer in the study of emotions and their facial expression. Professor Emeritus at the University of California in San Francisco, he developed the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) and demonstrated the biological universality of certain basic emotions such as joy, fear, or anger. His work has influenced areas such as forensic psychology, security, and intercultural communication.

Among his most notable works are Telling Lies, Emotions Revealed, and Unmasking the Face, co-written with Wallace V. Friesen. His research inspired the TV series Lie to Me, in which he collaborated as a scientific consultant.
