Turkish Hands: Gesturing Your Way Home Book 1: A Hand Guide for Tourists, is a delightful and fascinating book. In addition to photographs of the gestures that you will see wherever you look while in Turkey, author Tara Alisbah includes the Turkish expressions that usually accompany the gesture, an English translation, and brief explanations about where and when you are most likely to encounter each gesture. Although not an exhaustive list (Books Two and Three are in the works), this light and very packable 80 page text includes many of the most useful and common gestures so that you will know, for example, when someone is trying to warn you to beware of pick-pockets or offering you something to drink, or letting you know it’s time for you be on your way rather quickly. Allow yourself to ease into the grace of the moment, be touched by Turkish hands.WHO NEEDS IT?Tourists; Students and Teachers of Turkish Language and Culture; Business People with a Turkey-focus; Ex-pats; Anyone about to marry into a Turkish family or who has ever had Turkish friends; a whole host of academics: Linguists, Sociologists, Anthropologists; any Turk with a sense of humor, which is all of them, and then the category which includes people who like to laugh.
