of his own research, Harris provides an authoritative synopsis of
developmental neuroscience."---R. Douglas Fields, Science
"[Zero to Birth] really is a masterpiece in terms of how much
information is packed into this average sized book."---Nicole
Barbaro, Bookmarked Reads
"The story of how this development takes place is filled with as
much drama as any Shakespearian plot. There are accounts of
self-love and selfless cooperation, suicide and cannibalism,
rivalry and survival of the fittest. All on the cellular level.
And, fortunately for readers who are not experts in the field, the
style makes the story comprehensible and engaging."---Gunnel
Minett, Breathwork Science
"Highly illuminating."---Andrew Robinson, Nature
