Hall spoke of different cultures' concepts of space. Now \u003ci\u003eThe Dance of Life\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the ways in which individuals in culture are tied together by invisible threads of rhythm and yet isolated from each other by hidden walls of time. Hall shows how time is an organizer of activities, a synthesizer and integrator, and a special langauge that reveals how we really feel about each other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTime plays a central role in the diversity of cultures such as the American and the Japanese, which Hall shows to be mirror images of each other.

Hall was a widely traveled anthropologist whose fieldwork took him all over the world--from the Pueblo cultures of the American Southwest to Europe and the Middle East.

He was a consultant to architects on human factors in design and to business and government agencies in the field of intercultural relations, and had taught at the University of Denver, Bennington College, the Washington School of Psychiatry, the Harvard Business School, the Illinois Institute of Technology, and Northwestern University. \u003cbr\u003e Dr. Hall was born in Webster Groves, Missouri.
