Title: The biography of a baby
Description: "Milicent Washburn Shinn, Ph.D. (1858-1940), was one of the first natural scientists to study the behaviour of the human infant. Her detailed, day-by-day account of the first year in the life her niece, Ruth, first appeared in a series published by the University of California in 1893 and has continued to influence investigators of child behaviour and psychology for nearly a century. Affection, empathy, and a sharp eye guided her observations, which will appeal to any parent, grandparent, or proud uncle or aunt as well as to students and professionals in child development."-- Back cover.
