Twins Talk is an ethnographic study of identical twins in the United States, a study unique in that it considers what twins have to say about themselves, instead of what researchers have written about them. It presents, in the first person, the grounded and practical experiences of twins as they engage, both individually and together, the "who am I" and "who are we" questions of life. Here, the twins themselves are the stars. Dona Lee Davis conducted conversational interviews with twenty-two sets of identical twins attending the Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio, the largest such gathering in the world. Lively and often opinionated, each twin comes through as a whole person who at the same time maintains a special bond that the vast majority of people will never experience. The study provides a distinctive and enlightening insider's challenge to the nature/nurture debates that dominate contemporary research on twins. The author, herself an identical twin, draws on aspects of her own life to inform her analysis of the data throughout the text. Each chapter addresses a different theme from multiple viewpoints, including those of popular science writers, scientific researchers, and singletons, as well as those of the twins themselves.

So you've found out the good news. How did you take it? Normally it is a choice of pure joy, pure terror or downright panic. In the event of any or all of these emotions, you will certainly be needing advice. Dads get overlooked, let's face it. It's about time that this changed. And that's why Johnny Pearce decided to write this book. From a dad who's been through it and come out the other side, this is a guide to help dads through the turbulent time of twin pregnancy, birth and those first years. Don't fret, this updated (second edition) book is also for mums who want an easy read with some great nuggets of advice and info.With humour and short sections for men with attention deficits, this book packs concise information and advice for fathers-to-be or panicked fathers-now.Get those nappies ready, get the talc on, apply the lotion and get stuck in, it's a white knuckle ride."It's great ... I like the accessible style that makes it readable for both men and women ... I'm betting that if a husband was given this or bought this, it wouldn't be long before their partner nicked it to read themselves ... really impressive" Karen Bleakley, Fareham and Gosport Twin Club
The story of Africa's struggle for independence has often focussed on the key figures in the independence movement, figures like Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Patrice Lumumba of the Congo, Nelson Mandela of South Africa, etc.Left out in the discussion is the proverbial common man on the street - the ordinary citizens. What did they think about the prospect of self rule? Did each one of them favour the idea? Even if they universally supported the concept of independence, has anyone ever gone back to find out from them if indeed independence has met their aspirations and expectations?TWINS DIVIDED aims to address this issue.Set in rural Gold Coast (now Ghana), the riveting narrative revolves around the identical twin brothers, Panin and Kakra, residents of a small town in the Asante territory of the Gold Coast.The story begins in November 1946, with the return of Kakra to the Gold Coast after his abduction and forceful recruitment into the Royal West African Frontier Force to fight on the side of the 'Empire' in World War II. He survives a series of fierce battles both in East Africa and Burma. On his return home, he begins to agitate for immediate independence for the Gold Coast.Panin, Kakra's twin brother, on the other hand calls for a cautious approach, holding the view that the mainly illiterate population, made up of several ethnic groups with differing languages, traditions, culture, religious beliefs, population groups which prior to the advent of the Europeans were constantly warring against one another, was inadequately prepared for self-rule.As the two brothers follow developments in post-independent Ghana from their respective pre-independence perspectives, they provide a fascinating commentary on the changes that took place - changes that this book dramatizes for the reader who, in a sense, becomes a witness to the conflicts, the military take overs, and the final achievement of multi-party democracy.Since Ghana was the torchbearer of Black Africa's struggle for independence, the commentary of the two main characters on the country's independence experience may well be seen as a microcosm or mirror of the development of Black Africa as a whole.
