Left-handers have been described as "a people without a
history." This special issue provides scholarly analyses of aspects
of asymmetry in history, from the Renaissance to the 20th
Century.
- Lauren Harris presents three studies describing:
-
- An 1811 American child-care manual for parents fearing, "lest
their children should be left-handed";
- Manuals on swordsmanship from the Renaissance onwards
describing the "accepted minority" of left-handed swordsmen, a
minority that still dominates the Olympics;
- The enigmatic bias whereby parents use their left arm to carry
babies;
- Janet Snowman and Stephen Christman present two papers on
left-handed musical geniuses:
-
- William Crotch, the self-taught, 18th Century, musical prodigy,
whose unconventional left-handed playing styles stimulate many
questions about the asymmetries of stringed instruments;
- Jimi Hendrix, the 20th Century, left-handed, guitarist of whom
Robert Krieger said, " he was just so different. He just came from
such a left-field place."
- Chris McManus, Richard Rawles, James Moore and Matthew Freegard
describe an early BBC TV programme presented in 1953 by Jacob
Bronowski on right and left-handedness. In an early example of
viewer participation, 6000 people sent postcards describing their
handedness and also their perceptions of a "mystery picture," that
was the duck-rabbit figure from Wittgenstein s recently published
Philosophical Investigations.
- Chris McManus and Janet Snowman describe A left-handed
compliment, a newly discovered lithograph by John Lewis Marks (ca.
1795-6 - ca. 1857-61). Given Marks,"seeming love of vulgarity for
its own sake," there is probably an obscene sub-text reminiscent of
a Donald McGill postcard.
If you're like the average business person, you want to be less
stressed and more productive in your work. And you need help
Creating Your Business Vision provides a simple, step-by-step guide
to bring about dramatic improvements in your work, your team, and
your organization. Whether you're an author, coach, consultant,
corporate executive, creative, doctor, entrepreneur, nonprofit
leader, lawyer, pastor, or professor, developing a vision for your

Most organizations have a vision statement somewhere in a file or
on a conference room wall. Yet, unfortunately, these vision
statements seldom serve as an energizing guide toward exponential
growth and remarkable success for the organization. A vision is
energizing. It's enlivening. Vision is the guiding motivation for
all great human efforts. My problem was not vision - I didn't
understand how to get focused and stay focused on the vision. I was
not communicating vision effectively. To address these challenges,
I developed a tool to help me think through and write out my
vision. My experience a business vision was transformational.
Realizing the importance and potential of the business vision tool
for leaders in diverse markets, I compiled my experiences and the
process into this simple, step-by-step guide. In reality, Creating
Your Business Vision is less a book and more a career planning
experience. I intentionally made it short so you could read it in
one sitting. In the book, I will coach you through: 1. The story of
a struggling leader and how to find clarity on what matters most in
your work. 2. The basics of vision and how to create a career,
position, team, or organizational vision. 3. A four-step process
for identifying where you are NOW, and how to get from there to
where you want to be. 4. A step-by-step process for leading your
team through vision development 5. Planning templates, Word
documents, and PDF documents that will make it easier for you to
create your plan and keep it up-to-date. You can do it I now have
greater clarity and purpose in my work than ever before. And I'm
able to create very specific plans to move toward the enormous
goals of my vision - daily, weekly, quarterly. Creating my business
vision the best business decision I've ever made. And it will be
for you too Praise for Creating Your Business Vision: "All my life
I have worked for others and their vision statements. Michael's
book helped me understand how important it is to have my own vision
statement." - Eloise Williams "Michael's writing is vivid and
simple to follow." - Steve Banhegyi "Very informative and
insightful " - Haven Hawk, Executive Coach "Creating Your Business
Vision helped me to improve my team. It was a great help " - Gracie
