A masterly summary of the anatomical, psychological, and physiological findings made to date concerning human manual and cerebral asymmetry. Among the topics covered are handedness, split-brain studies, hemispheric asymmetry, language and laterality, the ontology of cerebral specialization, and sinistrality versus dextrality in hand and brain.
