Description
Left-Handedness: Causes and Consequences For those who are among the 10% of people who are naturally left-handed, life can be challenging. From being forced to write with their right hand at school to facing prejudice and stereotypes in everyday life, left-handers have had to endure a lifetime of "gauche" comments and assumptions. This book provides a comprehensive and insightful exploration of left-handedness, shedding light on its causes, consequences, and the ways in which it affects individuals and society. With a thorough understanding of current research and a witty, engaging writing style, the author answers questions such as: Is left-handedness determined by genetics or environment? How does it impact creativity, health, and relationships? This book offers a fresh perspective on a topic that has often been misunderstood or overlooked.
