Adelaide Khaled _delaide_haled — Once others find out that you're having a baby, you can expect to be bombarded with the same question ad nauseum: "Are you excited?" Stupid question really (assuming you were trying to conceive in the first place). However, my standard, and most honest answer was "I'm excited to be excited" since there's really no immediate change and it certainly doesn't sink in right away. As corny as it may sound, after reading this book my answer will now be "Yes, I am excited." The author does a wonderful job (for the most part) of establishing just the right tone: neither condescending and pretentiously academic, nor too kitschy and dumbed down. Backed in neuro science and numerous professional studies, his advice is logical and tested. Even the obvious stuff, like "pay attention to your kid" didn't just make me write "No shit" in the margins because the actual science behind it is explained. The latter half of the book, though, did get more and more "touchy feely." Apparently teaching empathy is one of the most important things to do, so I guess the mawkish shift was to be expected. Also, the author just has a really strange need to include irrelevant descriptive details about the scientists whose experiments he describes: "a crusty, wild haired old philosopher" (99) or "a handsome polymath" (135). Finally, there are times when explaining neuroscience via kitchen metaphor work well...there are also times it does not and the two paragraph aside about Bobby Flay ("has red hair and a New York accent" [199]) are completely unnecessary. Overall, though, reading this book made me excited to be a soon-to-be-dad!

Alexander Kuiava 3dmapping — I can't say enough about Lynn Austin's novels - fantastic! From back cover: "At forty-two, Abigail MacLeod is about to realize a lifelong dream-participation in an archaeological dig in Israel. Crushed by her husband's decision to end their marriage, Abby clings to the hope that somehow this trip will help to bring an element of peace into her chaotic life. But when tragedy taints the summer's promise, Abby questions the wisdom of staying on. The comforting friendship of archaeologist Hannah Rahov and the captivating wonder of the Holy Land compel Abby to remain. But what she discovers beneath the surface of Israel's beauty and the intrigue of its past is a history of pain and struggle. As the tumultuous world of first-century Palestine comes to life amid the ruins, Abby wonders if the faint remnant of her childhood faith could be the lifeline she's been searching for."

Abutu Shaibu abutudavid335f — Adult son reading dying dad's memoirs from WWII and following, working out identity, and finding unexpected friendship are all parts of this novel. Nicely told story.
