| Frank J. Sulloway: Born to Rebel: Birth Order, Family Dynamics, and Creative Lives (Vintage) - Bøger (1180 words) |
 | Frank J. Sulloway, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has undertaken the first comprehensive study of birth order in determining personality and social outlook. |
| Frank J. Sulloway envisions families as ecosystems in which siblings compete for parental favor by occupying specialized niches.  Combing through thousands of biographies in politics, science, and religion, he demonstrates that firstborn children are more likely to identify with authority whereas their younger siblings are predisposed to rise against it. |
| Sulloway concedes that the focus on Darwin is a logical result of the naturalist's showing the world how evolution works. |
