Here's an <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/05/science/05hall.html?_r=1&hpw" rel="nofollow">obituary from the New York Times</a>. THe book 'Beyond Culture' - which I haven't read - sounds especially interesting: <blockquote>Space as a form of communication, a field he dubbed proxemics, embraced phenomena like territoriality among office workers and the cultural meanings of architecture. The use of time as a form of communication can be seen, he argued, in the executive or the movie star who keeps a client waiting for a precisely calibrated number of minutes. His ideas were synthesized in “Beyond Culture” (1976).</blockquote> Sadly Edward T Hall died recently (aged 95). Here’s an obituary from the New York Times.
