All people who talk to other people—whether in business negotiations or social conversation—have a tremendous advantage if they have an understanding of the messages being conveyed by the gestures of the participants. Gerard I. Nierenberg, a prominent New York attorney and a founder of the General Semantics Foundation, has written a book, “The Art of Negotiating” (Hawthorne, $7.95) which, among other things, discusses the significance of ordinary, often unconscious, gestures.

In this series of photos by Laurence Cox, Nierenberg demonstrates some common gestures and explains what they can mean.
