Reviews

The Nature of Nurture is the modern synthesis that developmental science has sorely needed for decades. I guarantee that Jay Belsky’s highly readable book will radically transform the way you think about how genetic and environmental factors interact to shape the course of human development. -- Laurence Steinberg, author of <i>Age of Opportunity: Lessons from the New Science of Adolescence</i> A very well written and timely book by a world-renowned developmental scientist. Jay Belsky does an admirable job of taking on the knotty issue of how early experiences influence the unfolding of evolved developmental patterns. -- David C. Geary, author of <i>The Origin of Mind</i>
