What causes left-handedness? How are Southpaws
different from the right-handed majority? And if
left-handedness were a religion, where would Mecca
be? Two parts science, one part travelogue, A
Left-Hand Turn Around the World recounts my quest to answer these questions.
It is the story of my journey, one that led to a
Scottish castle, chimpanzees in Atlanta,
neuroscientists in Berkeley, lefty golfers in
Japan, psychologists in London and New Jersey, a
Satanist in Oregon, an amputee in Illinois, palm
readers in Quebec, 200-year-old brains in a Paris
museum, and the town of Left Hand, West Virginia.
