Twins: And What They Tell Us about Who We Are, Hardcover/Lawrence Wright

Descriere

A New York Times Notable Book for 1998Critical acclaim for Lawrence Wright'sA Rhone-Poulenc Science Prize Finalist"This is a book about far more than twins: it is about what twins can tell us about ourselves."--The New York Times"With plenty of amazing stories about the similarities and differences of twins, Wright respectfully shows, too, how their special circumstance in life challenges our notions of individuality. A truly fascinating but sometimes spooky (Mengele's experiments with twins at Auschwitz figure among Wright's examples) study."--American Library Association"Like so much of Wright's work, this book is a pleasure to read. Because he writes so well, without pushing a particular point of view, he soon has you pondering questions you have tended to comfortably ignore."--Austin American-Statesman"Informative and entertaining . . . a provocative subject well considered by a talented journalist."--Kirkus Reviews
