Editorial Reviews
Review
“[John Napier’s] book is deliberately ‘not too technical,’ light and full of wit. . . . Fingerprints, gestures, nerves, bone, hand hair–all are given attention . . . in this interesting survey.” ―
Scientific American“Each fascinating chapter in this book is a conjured mixture of anecdote, entertainment, and instruction.” ―
