Twins: From Fetus to Child

Summary: a spectacular book on twins
Review: I bought this book as I had read another book from the same author. At
last she was back! However I also was rather preoccupied. Her first book
had acquired almost iconic status amongst prenatal psychologists.
Prenatal psychology seems to have developed into a hazy field full of
fancy leaps, unverified facts and with a mystical aura added to it. I was
thrilled to know that, contrary to many of her colleagues, the author had
had the courage to start almost from scratch and fully immerse herself
into first-hand work. I found the initial chapters demystifying fancy
views on fetal life absolutely fantastic. True science at its best!
However also the rest of the book is fascinating. In showing how genes
and environment constantly interact, it teaches us a lot about early
human development in general. Photography adds conviction to most points
all along. In addition I found the massive bibliography extremely
helpful. I would strongly recommend this book to parents and

professionals alike. I hope this author will soon produce another book!

Summary: at last an excellent book on twins
Review: This book deals with the development of twins from before birth. I consider this to be a revolutionary book as it takes into account all factors that contribute to the devolpment of twins. Too often have this facotrs been ignored. Although the book is clearly written by an outstanding scholar, the style could appeal to a very wide audience, from partents to physicians. A true must for anyone interested in the field of child devolpment.
