  This is a study of the effects of birth order on all aspects of the human personality. According to the author of this book, a child's place in the family leaves an indelible stamp on its personality. It affects parental and sibling relationships, school and work friendships, career and marital choice and, eventually, relationships with the next generation. Much academic research has been done on this aspect of family dynamics. The author interprets the facts and figures behind the research to create a book designed to have popular appeal. It includes interviews with famous people from politics, literature, art, showbusiness and sport.
