A senior writer at Time magazine explores what scientists
and researchers are discovering about sibling bonds, the
longest- lasting relationships we have in our lives. Nobody affects us as deeply as our brothers and sisters-not
parents, not children, not friends. From the time we-and
they-are born, our siblings are our collaborators and
co-conspirators, our role models and cautionary tales. They
teach us how to resolve conflicts and how not to, how to
conduct friendships and when to walk away. Our siblings are
the only people we know who truly qualify as partners for life. In this groundbreaking book, renowned science writer Jeffrey
Kluger explores the complex world of siblings in a way that
is equal parts science, psychology, sociology, and memoir.
Based heavily on new and emerging research, The Sibling
Effect examines birth order, twin studies, genetic encoding
of behavioral traits, emotional disorders and their effects
on-and effects from-sibling relationships, and much more. With his signature insight and humor, Kluger takes big ideas
about siblings and turns them into smart, accessible writing
that will help anyone understand the importance of siblings
in our lives.
