Product Description
Book Description
The author makes use of the latest research to demonstrate that while left-handers suffer more from a variety of physical and psychological problems (and may even die as much as nine years earlier than right-handers), they may also be more intelligent and creative in some spheres. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Synopsis
Left-handedness is a complex psychological and neurological phenomenon. Recent research suggests that left-handed people encounter psychological problems and have a shorter life expectancy, but display greater intelligence and creativity in some spheres. This book examines the phenomenon, considering the various difficulties that left-handed people face in a world designed for right-handed people and suggesting ways in which things can be made more comfortable and safer for them. It also investigates other aspects of "sidedness", including foot, ear and eye preferences.
