Review Quotes:
"The development of gaze following has had a faithful following of a few researchers for more than four decades. This book should bring this significant behavior to the attention of a wide audience, with its comprehensive coverage from leaders in the field." - Rachel Keen, University of Masachussetts Amherst
"Flom has assembled a state of the art scientific "smorgasbord." Gaze-following and its development are considered from every perspective, from neuroscience, to conceptual structure, to ontogenetic processes, to social life and beyond. This breadth provides the reader with not only a comprehensive account of current knowledge, but, more critically, with a cross-disciplinary foundation for fresh insights into this long-studied phenomenon. This volume is perfect in its breadth and level of detail to serve as the focus of a doctoral seminar. Seasoned researchers will glean new insights from the trenchant theoretical analyses and innovative empirical work presented in these chapters." - Amanda Woodward, University of Maryland
