Reviews

[Kony · Rating 3 out of 5]

Collection of shorts that, taken together, provide a survey of reasons why early childhood is a crucial period. A shallow sampler of psychology, neuroscience, policy critique, anecdote, and preaching. Not completely unhelpful; but not rigorously informative either. Needs a thorough copy edit!
