Exceptional science and witty writing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
As a physician and ergonomist I found this book to be stimulating, fun, informative, and very useful. The hand is too often overlooked or treated shabbily in our work and daily living. Though it connects us to our world, we tend to take it for granted. This book helps all of us to overcome that error. Get the book, enjoy it. It is worth the money and the time reading it.
hands-down the best book on hands

This is a great book for anyone who loves hands, and appreciates how perfect a perfect hand can be. There is nothing like it on the market. In the evening, when I'm done reading Friedrich Hoelderlin, I like to relax with this book. It really helps me understand hands.
Outstanding!

This book is a fascinating account of the most "human" parts of the human body, the hands. Worth owning.
