The Amazing Infant is a fabulous book. Beautifully crafted, written by one of the most creative figures in the field of infancy, this book will charm both college students and parents wanting to learn about the wonders of the baby’s mind. Who needs dinosaurs or astronomical Big Bangs when we have babies to explore? The infant is the keeper of many, many mysteries, and this book engages us in exploring quite a few of them.”
Joseph J. Campos, University of California, Berkeley <!--end-->

“Tiffany Field is without question our leading researcher and writer on the role of touch in infant development and behavior. The Amazing Infant is an excellent primer on infant behavior and development, utilizing her personal experiences with her own daughter’s development. An exceptional aid for new parents as well as students.”
Lewis P. Lipsitt, Brown University

“This book is a very good read. The writing style is engaging and easy to follow. It is also truly unique in the field of infant development … a field in which far too little attention has been paid to the obvious fact that infants’ development involves learning and that specific patterns of maternal behavior are essential for successful child behavioral outcomes.”
Martha Pelaez, Florida International University

“A prolific writer…Field provides thumbnail sketches of what is known to this point on a variety of topics, with emphasis on recent research findings.”
