Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

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
