ReviewsEasy to read, thorough, beautiful figures, focuses on scientific process as well as content in a very undergrad-appropriate level., "Easy to read, thorough, beautiful figures, focuses on scientific process as well as content in a very undergrad-appropriate level." -- Stephanie Fretham, Luther College, IA"[Foundations of Neural Development] balances a conversational tone with evidence-based explanations. This is the ONLY textbook on neurodevelopment that contains a mix of approaches for neurodevelopment." -- Elizabeth Dudkin, Penn State University, PA"The learning objectives within the chapters are well written, clear, learner centered, and measurable. The extensive references to the primary research literature are helpful, and so important as a demonstration to students for how to write a review of the literature." -- Patrick Cafferty, Emory University, GA"I love this text book; it's the only one I have opted to require for courses I teach." -- Mary Holschbach, NSU Florida, F"Every semester, I have students who say [Foundations of Neural Development] is their favorite textbook of all their science courses they've had in college. It's wonderful." -- David Ladle, Wright State University, OH
