“Kraus provides a comprehensive and scholarly discussion, offering in-depth insights into all facets of handedness … . the book can be useful for readers who are just beginning their exploration of handedness. In the field of handedness, theory and research were standing a bridge too far from practice; and for too long. Elke Kraus’s book is finally building this conceptual bridge. May the reader walk over it, as I have, and enjoy the beautiful new landscape below it.” (Marietta Papadatou-Pastou, Laterality, February 14, 2024)
