Overview

How and why do people give and obey commands? Through extensive field studies of the words and body language of command, this book shows how hierarchies systematically elicit and repress the aggressive and friendly gestures derived from our distant evolutionary past. It also describes the culturally-based methods used in each organization to enforce compliance. This work should be of interest to social scientists and psychologists interested in control in societies, evolutionary biologists and anthropologists.
