How much blame when they turn out badly?</b> Judith Rich Harris has a message that will change parents' lives: The "nurture assumption"--the belief that what makes children turn out the way they do, aside from their genes, is the way their parents bring them up--is nothing more than a cultural myth. This electrifying book explores some of our unquestioned beliefs about children and parents and gives us a radically new view of childhood. With eloquence and humor, Judith Harris explains why parents have little power to determine the sort of people their children will become. <i>The Nurture Assumption</i> is an important and entertaining work that brings together insights from psychology, sociology, anthropology, primatology, and evolutionary biology to offer a startling new view of who we are and how we got that way. <b>Judith Rich Harris is a former writer of college textbooks on child development who realized one day that much of what she had been telling her readers was wrong. She stopped writing textbooks and instead wrote a theoretical article on development, which won an award from the American Psychological Association.</b> 619424 1998 The Nurture Assumption: Why Children Turn Out the Way They Do total:88|5:30|4:35|3:18|2:4|1:1| 88 353 233 17 4 6 false false Mon Oct 15 04:57:49 -0700 2007 Sun Nov 04 12:16:20 -0800 2007 more...]]> 5 4 false false Fri Nov 13 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 11:29:59 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 16:07:30 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Fri Jan 09 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 16 05:37:57 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 09 03:40:58 -0800 2009
