This is what happens when you peruse Powell's shelves much too late at night and buy a book based on a title. I had bought a string of parenting books based on communication before language, based on understanding and interpreting the brain development of infants. (I'm partly researching for my thesis, partly scientifically curious at linguistic development and world-interpretation prior to that and mostly wondering how best to "speak" to my seven-month-old.)

Instead, in this case anyway, what I got was a series of black and white photos, most of them simply fine--nothing spectacular or what I would deem "professional" about them--paired with quotes, some good, but because of the pairing, lessened. It was like stumbling through a Hallmark bargain bin.
