From Tracy:
One of the first child-oriented books I read (before kids, before EP) and I still love it. Dr. Gopnik will help you look at children’s behaviours in an entirely new light.
From Tracy:
A must-read to truly understand the evolution of motherhood and shared care through the lens of our unique childhood. Of course the book goes beyond to argue that this unique need of humans to rely on others has also led to our unique capacity to understand others. Truly eye-opening.
From Tracy:
Dr. Bloom is excellent at translating psychological research on children for the masses and in this installment he looks at how we view morality. It is fascinating as long as you remember that even our psychological research can be steeped in culture.
From Tracy:
There is reason for controversy over some of the ideas here, but like all things academic, that is the sign of a good book. Written years ago, but a great look at the debate over nature versus nurture.
