  <default_description>Though not for the impatient, &lt;I&gt;What's Going on in There? How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life&lt;/I&gt; will undoubtedly make you a better parent. It is thick, detailed, and scientific. But it is also accessible to parents who have the time and patience to immerse themselves in the latest research on brain development. And for those who do, the rewards can be great. &lt;p&gt; 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. But most importantly, you'll understand--maybe for the first time--exactly how great your contribution as a parent can be to the development of your young child's brain. Written by Lise Eliot, Ph.D., a neurobiologist and mother of three, &lt;I&gt;What's Going on in There?&lt;/I&gt; is an immensely intelligent labor of love. It is based on the author's own &quot;odyssey of discovery&quot; as she sought answers to questions about her own role in carrying, delivering, and parenting her children. &lt;I&gt;--Kelley Smith&lt;/I&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Reignited my interest in the brain.  Better than most books of this type, cos it's more focused on explaining the science of brain development than giving you 10 ways you can nurture your child's inner spirit, yadda yadda.
