The paperback edition of A Left Hand Turn Around the World is finally in stores!  Thus far the response has been terrific, although during a recent interview on Comcast's CN8's show “Your Morning,” the anchor referred to me as "David Wolfman."

The paperback edition of ALHTAW is due out mid-November. The Japanese edition has been out for about six week now, and so far the response has been terrific, due in no small part to catchy cover art.

March 25:
Just back from the Virginia Festival of the Book. It was a good time, and I enjoyed being on panels with authors like Sam Apple and Kevin O’Keefe, who’ve written cool books that, thankfully, have nothing to do with handedness, asymmetry in the world, or brain organization. It’s been a busy week for me and A Left-Hand Turn Around the World and the world of laterality studies. LiveScience.com ran a decent piece about left-handedness, and then a few people brought to my attention an interesting, if not peculiar, research paper about how a left-handed coil for snail shells may provide a survival advantage. I’m off to China this week, but keep an eye out for Wordstock, a book festival in Portland April 22-23.

January 6:
I will be in Charlottesville, Virginia in March to speak at the Virginia Festival of the Book. If you're in the area, come check it out. Likewise, April 21-23 is Wordstock, here in Portland. I will be presenting (in some yet-to-be-determined fashion) during this event as well.

October 3:
The dates are set. Beginning with Eugene, Oregon October 27 and wrapping up in Boulder, Colorado December 1, the Left Hand Turn Tour will be stopping in 14 cities across the country. Check the Events page for details. And if you're anywhere near Portland October 26, join us for the launch party at Every Day Wine, 1520 NE Alberta Street. We're even featuring the Sinister Hand blend from Owen Roe Winery.

August 10:
Nikkei publishing just bought the rights to A Left-Hand Turn Around the World ! With a Korean edition already in the pipeline, the Japanese edition will help spread the gospel of Southpaw in Asia and beyond.

Look for a feature article about handedness and the brain, written by yours truly, in a November issue of New Scientist magazine. The piece focuses on the controversial idea that the size of a particular brain structure has significant influences on cognition for different groups of people, and that those groups are predicted by strength of handedness.

The November issue of Portland Monthly will include a lighter-side, journal-esque article I wrote, about left-handedness and left-leaning Portland , Oregon .

July 2:
Keep an eye out for an oceanography feature story I wrote for a winter '06 issue of Discover magazine. Although unrelated to handedness, the subject is interesting – I promise.
