Industry Reviews
"..."Twins" has its allure. It offers a good discussion of the curious and still mysterious biology of twinning."
New York Times Book Review - Natalie Angier (02/08/1998)
"A provocative subject well considered by a talented journalist."
Merrill
"A totally convincing introduction to behavioral genetics, based chiefly on studies of identical twins raised separately."—The New York Times<p>"This is a book about far more than twins: it is about what twins can tell us about ourselves."—<I>The New York Times</I><p>"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."—<I>American Library Association</I><p>"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."—<I>Austin American-Statesman</I><p>"Informative and entertaining . . . A provocative subject well considered by a talented journalist."—<I>Kirkus Reviews</I><p>
