Since no one else mentioned my book on this page I decided to do it myself: The title is Meetings, Manners and Civilization. The Development of Modern Meeting Behaviour.
I wrote the original version in Dutch in 1994; the English translation / elaboration was published in 1999.
The book is a inquiry into meeting networks and behavior in Western Europe and the USA since the Middle Ages until today. You find more information about the book here:
