"this book provides a wealth of information and helpful analysis...I would strongly recommend that readers buy this book and share with colleagues." Aotearoa New Zealand Social Work "The information and challenges this book presents should be viewed as a timely warning to those who wish to rush to judgement about findings from science that few have examined as carefully and critically as these authors. We are in debt to them." Children Australia "Part of the appeal of the book is the unique constellation of expertise and interests that the authors bring to their topicit is not often you get a neuroscientist and a sociologist working together on a detailed synthesis of their respective fields." The British Journal of Social Work Well-written, highly informative and amply referenced, this is an important book to read and return to, for teachers, students and practitioners. Professional Social Work Magazine. "Too often early childhood policy is founded on dogmatic interpretations of over-simplified science. Skepticism is the antidote, which this remarkable piece of scholarship provides, bringing ethical concerns to the fore." John Bruer, President Emeritus, James S. McDonnell Foundation "Forensically detailed, compelling and at points unsettling, this book is a very welcome antidote to simplistic policy appropriations of biology. It deserves to be widely read."
