a very interesting book, however it seems that we still dont know much about left handed. enjoy

For the lefties

I'm not a lefty, I just know some. If you're a lefty, know a lefty, or just want to know what's up with them, this is a good book and a fun, educational read. The science is pared down enough so that just about anyone can handle it- it will only alienate really non-science people, as well as really hard-core scientists (who will find it dumbed down). For the majority, it's scientific enough without being overwhelming, and has plenty of fun facts, history, and name-dropping to make righties think twice about their superiority.

A very well-written book.

For anyone interested in left handedness, Melissa Roth's book is a must-read, very up to date. Roth gets straight to the point without resorting to the sorts of pathos, frequent digressions, tongue-in-cheek humor, or stale, decades-old data present in so many other books about left handedness. If you're considering buying a book about left handedness, "the Left Stuff" should be first on your list.
