By Abram Blau

Book Overview

The Master Hand is a book written by Abram Blau in 1946. It is a study of the origin and meaning of right and left sidedness and its relation to personality and language. The book explores the concept of handedness and how it affects the way we think and communicate. Blau delves into the history of handedness, from ancient times to the present day, and examines the various theories that have been proposed to explain it.The author also examines the relationship between handedness and personality, arguing that left-handed people are often more creative and intuitive than their right-handed counterparts. He also explores the link between handedness and language, suggesting that left-handed people may have an advantage in learning languages because of the way their brains are wired.Throughout the book, Blau draws on a wide range of scientific research to support his arguments. He also includes numerous case studies and anecdotes to illustrate his points. The Master Hand is a fascinating exploration of a little-understood aspect of human behavior, and it remains an important work in the field of psychology today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
