Review
Winifred Gallagher, a science writer, journalist, and the author of The Power of Place: How Our Surroundings Shape Our Thought, Emotions, and Actions, has produced a book about a timeless question: Who are we and how did we arrive this way? Gallagher addresses this fundamental question by looking at the science and history of temperament, including new, fascinating research on how heredity, anatomy, biochemistry, and the way we are raised affect the patterns of human behavior. Tackling a formidable subject and lacing it with the true story of an abandoned child, she has produced a readable and important book.
