Though not for the impatient, What's Going on in There? presents a comprehensive overview of current scientific knowledge about infant and early childhood brain development with impressive depth and clarity. Along the way, it richly demonstrates the innumerable ways in which parents can help their children develop better brains. Eliot, a neuroscientist and mother of three, starts her immensely intelligent labour of love with a richly detailed yet accessible tour of the growing embryo, guiding readers through the developing sensory, motor, emotional and cognitive systems. You'll understand the inner workings of the brain like never before. You'll learn the latest thinking on the nature vs. nurture question. You'll gain invaluable insights into the evolution of the senses, motor skills, social and emotional growth, memory, language and intelligence. Throughout, Eliot maintains a neutral voice, meticulously steering away from thornier social and ethical issues. In such a vital and contentious area, this can be either an advantage or a detriment, depending on the interests or needs you bring to the book. What's Going on in There? is another landmark in popular science.--Fiona Buckland
