Features: A highly professional book that explores the subject of crying and tears. Crying is a shared emotion among humans, yet it is a unique behavior. Yet we know so little about crying, except that women usually cry more than men and babies cry more than adults. Beyond that, almost nothing is known. What seems like a reasonable justification to the person crying may appear inexplicable to the comforter. Through this book, readers will understand what joyful tears are, what fake tears are, and the meanings behind tears shed by men, women, babies, and children.
