Nancy L. Segal

    Questa autrice si addentra nell'affascinante mondo dei gemelli, spinta sia dall'esperienza personale che dalla curiosità accademica. Il suo lavoro esplora le sfumature dei gemelli identici e fraterni, scoprendo le complessità della genetica condivisa e dei percorsi di vita individuali. Attraverso la sua scrittura, offre spunti su come queste relazioni uniche plasmino l'identità e la percezione. Il suo approccio è sia informativo che coinvolgente.

    • In Deliberately Divided, Nancy Segal revisits a controversial study that tracked the development of separated twins and triplets. None of the adoptive parents were told that they were raising a multiple birth baby. The truth was shocking for these parents and twins, many of whom have shared their unimaginable stories for the first time.

      Accidental Brothers
    • Tajemství identických dvojčat přitahovalo zájem veřejnosti už od dávných dob. Vypráví se spousta tajuplných příběhů o ještě tajuplnější vazbě jednoho dvojčete s druhým, o jejich telepatickém propojení, o tom, jak dvojčata umírají ve stejný okamžik, byť vzdálená mnoho kilometrů, o tom, jak jedno dvojče havaruje v autě, zatímco druhé si způsobí shodné zranění náhodným pádem ze židle. Jistě, mnohá tajemství zůstávají nevyřešena. Kniha ani nepopírá, že existují dosud neobjasněné skutečnosti, záhadné shody okolností, jež se nedají zaškatulkovat ani do předem stanovené přihrádky genetické spřízněnosti, ani do přihrádky vlivu prostředí (nitroděložního, rodinného apod.) a více přihrádek (bohužel) v pracovně současné vědy nenajdeme.
