- catalog abstract "Lists and illustrates gestures and explains their meanings in eighty-two countries around the world, along with information about rules of decorum and when to make eye contact and touch. Before you raise your hand to signal the waiter, extend your thumb to hitchhike, or flash the "O.K." sign with thumb and forefinger, Stop! Think of where you are and exactly what you are trying to say-otherwise you could create an international incident. Remember when President Bush thought he was flashing the "V" for Victory sign to cheering Australians? (See inside.)
