The Left-Handed Witch - Recent studies on left-handedness, on the impact of seasonality and lunar cycles on human behaviour and much more… #926092

For many centuries, the left hand was considered the “hand of the devil,” and left-handedness was seen as a sign of inferiority and deviance in Europe until the 20th century. Since the 1970s, the percentage of left-handed people around the world has increased, as they are no longer forced to “correct” themselves. Even today, however, the right hand is associated with positive attributes, while the left is linked to superstitions and taboos.
A different lateralization of the cerebral hemispheres distinguishes left-handers from right-handers, which can involve both advantages and disadvantages. This book gathers the most recent scientific knowledge on left-handedness — but not only that. Seasonal and lunar influences on human physiology may reveal a mysterious “magic formula.”
This is the English version of the book La strega mancina, originally published in Italian by Ikonos Editore.
