British neurophysiologist Cole has produced a fascinating but difficult-to-categorize book about the importance of the face and facial expression to the development of personality and character. Largely through interviews with those who are blind, autistic, or suffer from various neurological disorders that limit facial expression, Cole considers just how much of ourselves is contained in our faces. Less personable and quirky than Oliver Sacks's books and less personal than the work of doctor-writers like Lewis Thomas or Richard Selzer, this is nonetheless a very interesting title that will likely appeal to a wide audience?lay readers, specialists in the neurosciences and psychological fields, and scholars who contemplate the origins of the self. Recommended for general collections with literate readership, as well as academic collections.?Mark L. Shelton, Univ. of Massachusetts Medical Ctr., Worcester
