I would strongly recommend this volume not only to scholars in humour studies, but also to scholars in other fields given the broadening of perspectives it might trigger. It is a very accessible book also to non-experts or students since throughout the book every tackled topic is introduced by a comprehensive and, at the same time, concise and pleasant-to-read review, methodologies are carefully explained and results clearly interpreted. I really enjoyed reading this work and I thank the author for this, since it has already been an incredibly useful resource also for my own work not necessarily related to smiling, gaze or humour.

This book is an important contribution to studies of humor, eye-tracking, embodied communication, and multimodality in its broadest aspect, filling to some extent the existing gap in these studies and opening the way to new lines of research within the broad field of the relationship between conversation and humor.
