Hands is a really great little book.
The first part describes the structure, function and evolution of the human hand. All of this is informed by comparison with the non-human primates. While it does go into some anatomical and primatological detail, Hands assumes no prior knowledge of either field. It is likely to be of great interest to anyone to whom hands are of particular importance, from magicians and musicians to victims of RSI and designers of tools. Hands is highly recommended.
