Title: secondhand pop anthropology
Review: There is, generally, an off-the-top-of-the-head quality to this book. But I base my harsh judgment specifically on his remarks about gestures in Greece. I've spent enough time, the better part of a year, in Greece to have my own ideas about it, and in fact, I was there around the time he published this book. Some quite prominent gestures, differing from the Anglo-American lot, are left unnoted, and others are mis-interpreted. I don't believe he did any "research" in Greece. Was he even there?In another of his books, he states authoritatively that men who are attracted to women with small breasts are homosexuals, whether they want to admit it or not. What book was it, you ask? Ah, some book or other, not this one ... Some book or other, he's written ... oh, never mind.
