In Your Face

More about the book

If eyes are the windows to the soul, what does the rest of a face reveal about its owner? In this smart and engaging exploration of the latest discoveries in neuroscience, face psychology pioneer David Perrett reveals why we are more attracted to some faces than to others and how our experiences shape this attraction. Dismantling common myths, Perrett shows how hormones affect our perception of faces, why facial beauty changes with time, why everyone thinks babies are cute, and much more. This fascinating and surprising look at the science of the face will change how you view your reflection forever.--From publisher description.
