Do Dogs Dream?: Nearly Everything Your Dog Wants You to Know

W.W.Norton&Company

John Wiley&Sons

At various times in history, left-handedness has been regarded as many a nasty habit, a social inconvenience, or a mark of the devil. It has also been taken as a sign of neurosis, rebellion, creativity, artistic ability, musical ability, psychopathology, mental retardation, criminal-icy, homosexuality, genius, sports proficiency, or empathy. Our long fascination with handedness is shown by its mention in the Bible; references to it appear in some Egyptian tomb writings. 
The problem of handedness has caught the attention of many thinkers and scientists including Charles Darwin, Benjamin Franklin, William James, and Thomas Carlyle. Over the past twenty years or so, researchers have shown that left-handedness is more than a minor difference. Increasingly we are coming to understand that left-handedness has social, educational, and psychological implications and affects many aspects of health, well-being, and even life span. 
This book focuses on all that distinguishes right- and left-handers. It demonstrates that handedness is only one part of sidedness, which also includes footedness, eyedness, and earedness, and shows readers how to measure their own sidedness. The book answers some common questions such Where does handedness come from? Is it coded in the genes? Does it stem from social pressure? Might it indicate some damage or injury? Is it related to the organization o{ the brain, and how? 
Further, the book examines the differences between left- and righthanders in terms of intelligence, personality, creativity, and a number of other domains.
