Recenzje

'The Brain Development Revolution provides a fascinating, insightful account of how brain science came to dominate early childhood policy debates - driven not by 'the science,' but by public messaging about that science, with successes, missed opportunities, and unintended negative consequences for early childhood policy. This important book illuminates the often obscured interplay between scientific knowledge, political priorities, and values in early childhood advocacy, and highlights the need for broader, more inclusive policy deliberations to advance better policy for young children.' Katharine B. Stevens, Founder and CEO, Center on Child and Family Policy, USA
