Review
"If you have time to read only one book about human development, read this one" -- Jared Diamond, Professor of Physiology at UCLA and Pulitzer Prize Winner "This thoughtful and engaging book should be on everyone's reading list" * New Scientist * "Refresh your brows with the cool breeze of reason that is Bateson and Martin's overview... fascinating" * Guardian * "At last! In their sane and lucid - and much needed - corrective to the torrent of overblown genetic rhetoric, Patrick Bateson and Paul Martin take the reader on a journey through humanity's seven ages" -- Steven Rose "Bateson and Martin have delivered what others have claimed to provide: a solid, signposted road out of the trench war between nature and nurture" -- Marek Kohn * Independent *
