This volume contains 14 chapters from experts from around the world in the field of lateralization of function. They write comprehensive reviews, present data, and pose questions concerning the evolutionary origins and development of side bias, methodological concerns with the way we measure handedness and footedness, and some more unusual aspects of human beings' lateralized behaviour, such as asymmetrical cradling and pseudoneglect.
