In Your Face by Donna M. Jackson

Where would we be without faces? Would we all look like earthworms? We stare at them all day long, yet they remain a wonder.  This book takes faces apart feature by feature and investigates some of their mysteries. How do we tell faces apart? How do we recognize cartoons? Why is it so hard to teach computers to see faces? And do faces give liars away? I hope not...better go read that chapter again.
