Book Review – Evolution, Early Experience, and Human Development: From Research to Practice and Policy

Book Review : A literature search piqued by the publication of an interesting article about babies on the internet led me to this text book filled with essays from some of my favorite researchers and authors in the field of attachment, neuroscience, and early nervous system development. Darcia Naevaez, PhD, associate professor of psychology at the University of Minnesota, published a short list, “Ten Things Everyone Should Know About Babies” (Naevaez, 2013) in her blog in Psychology Today. The subheading caught my eye: Ignorance about babies is undermining society. Previously I did not know about Narvaez, and then, I just had to read everything she wrote.
