From the Inside Flap:
mong the 10 percent of people who happen to be left-handed, you've had to endure such derisive terms as "gauche" and "a left-handed compliment." At school you may have been forced to write with your right hand. And in another century your proclivity might have gotten you accused of witchcraft.
Any left-handed person, or the spouse, parent, or friend of one, will be captivated by this essential and eye-opening book. With bracing wit and a flawless command of current research, psychologist Stanley Coren answers such questions as:
Is left-handedness acquired genetically or socially?
Are southpaws more creative than their right-handed fellows?
Why do left-handers seem to die younger than right-handers?
What can left-handers do to counteract the perils and prejudices that confront them in a world that leans to the right?

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Although they represent 10 per cent of the population, left-handers may be one of the last unorganized and discriminated against minorities in society. In this account Stanley Coren 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. He examines the implications of these differences and, most importantly, addresses the question of how we can make the world more comfortable and safer for left-handers. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001210179
