About This Item
Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2002 Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA. 2002. Hardcover. First Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked but for former owner name on FFFP. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Fine. Bray boards with black overlay on spine with red lettering on spine. 412 pp. This book takes the reader on a trip through history, around the world, and into the cosmos, to explore the place of handedness in nature and culture. Distinctions between right and left have been profoundly meaningful- imbued with moral and religious meaning- in societies throughout history and suggests that laterality may originate in our asymmetric bodies from 550 million years of asymmetric vertebrate evolution and may be linked to the asymmetric structure of matter. A clean pristine copy.
