![]() Beyond ADD : Hunting for Reasons in the Past & Present by Thom Hartmann. One of the pioneers of ADD research shows how individuals with ADD are not just "hyperactive" or "easily distracted," but actually possess highly adaptive, entrepreneurial skills--traits which served ancient hunters but meet with resistance in modern agrarian societies. This book shows how people with the same diagnosis can exhibit different behaviors and possible genetic origins and ADD-related traits are explored and discussed. |
