The Human Face As Expressive Of Character & Disposition

"The Human Face As Expressive Of Character & Disposition" explores the art and science of physiognomy, the practice of assessing a person's character or personality from their outer appearance, especially the face. R. Dimsdale Stocker delves into the historical and theoretical underpinnings of this once-popular discipline, examining how facial features were believed to reveal inner traits and dispositions. This book offers insights into the social and cultural contexts in which physiognomy thrived, touching upon its applications in fields ranging from medicine to criminology. A fascinating exploration of a bygone era's attempt to understand human nature through observation and analysis.
