Reviews

“This is an excellent laterality book that deserves to be read and read again. … For those interested in rethinking the very basis of what handedness means to develop new theoretical models of handedness, Westmoreland’s book certainly is worth a read. It has been a long time since I have so found so many new impulses to think about my research in a single text.” (Sebastian Ocklenburg, Laterality, June 2, 2023)
