Intuition is an integral part of successful use of the scientific facts:- the relation between the hand and brain areas, nerve centers and emotions; the anatomy of the hand and an analysis of the ; form as related to types, fully diagrammed; parts of the hand; right handedness and left; and a study of the practical methods of hand interpretation. The last part of the book presents case histories and examples.
