The Hand Book Summary

The Hand Book: A Complete Guide by Magda Gargulakova

Handy hands. What a unique tool! Explore the hand from a range of expected and unexpected aspects.

Did you know that sign language varies from country to country? Have you ever wondered why some of us are left-handed while others are right-handed? Can you imagine how the hand of a sculptor differs from that of a pianist or a bricklayer? Sure you can't applaud with one hand, but there are still many things you can manage with just one hand. Find out in this book with original design and tactile cover.
