In Looking at Faces and Remembering Them: A Guide to Facial Identification, Jacques Penry — a pioneering figure in the science of facial recognition — presents a systematic and accessible method for analysing the distinct features of the human face. Drawing on his renowned work developing the Photofit facial identification system used by law enforcement agencies, Penry instructs readers in the art and science of breaking down facial structure into its constituent parts, from the architecture of the brow to the geometry of the jaw, enabling both professionals and laypeople to sharpen their powers of observation and recall.\n\nSitting at the crossroads of psychology, criminology, and perceptual science, this compelling guide argues that the ability to accurately identify and remember faces is a learnable skill rather than an innate gift. Penry's methodology is precise yet engaging, blending scientific rigour with practical instruction in a manner that makes complex concepts immediately applicable. A fascinating study of the face as both a biological map and a social text, this work leaves the reader wondering just how many faces they have already seen — and irrevocably forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203110445275,"sku":"2026200015120-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/30f358a1-6b8a-423e-8052-11284c83c90c.png?v=1788143994","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015120-secondhand-looking-at-faces-and-remembering-them-a-guide-to-facial-identification","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
