67,83 €(IVA inc.)
Left-handers have been described as ‘a people without a history’. Although one in ten people today is left-handed, even historical studies of the rate of left-handedness before the twentieth century are rare. This special issue presents detailed reports on a range of topics from teaching children to use their right hands, the side on which babies should be held, left-handed swordsmen, the eighteenth-century left-handed musical prodigy William Crotch, the twentieth century left-handed guitarist Jimi Hendrix, an early nineteenth century lithograph that is probably obscene, and one of Jacob Bronowski¿s earliest BBC TV science programmes, Right Hand Left Hand, shown in 1953.
