The book presents an excellent overview of the field and will certainly serve as an important source of reference for speech perception and language acquisition researchers.

Studies have shown that people form their initial impression of you within the first 30 seconds: 55% is based on how you look; 38% is your presentation (voice and body language); and 7% is what you have to say. "A Woman's Guide to Success: Perfecting Your Professional Image" can get you 93% of the way to making a positive first impression and unlocking the door to professional success. In a simple, yet thorough, step-by-step manner, Doris Pooser, author of the acclaimed Always in Style® book series, focuses on helping to improve your "total presentation" (the mix of verbal and non-verbal signals) in the workplace. From wardrobe planning and body language to business and dining etiquette, you'll look good, feel confident, and be on the road to achieving your life goals and finding success in style!
The Secret Language of Business reveals the secrets of body language
and nonverbal communication. Successful professionals need more than
just good communication skills, you also need the ability to interpret
the nonverbal signals that everyone displays. You’ll learn how to
master and manipulate your own body language, read the body language of
others, and influence people through your new skills and perception. No
matter what business you’re in, this is a valuable guide to achieving
more in life and business.
