Where is intelligence hidden in the brain, and why does that matter? Why do cross-racial friendships decrease in schools that are more integrated? If 98% of kids think lying is morally wrong, then why do 98% of kids lie? What's the single most important thing that helps infants learn language?\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNurtureShock\u003c\/i\u003e is a groundbreaking collaboration between award-winning science journalists Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman. They argue that when it comes to children, we've mistaken good intentions for good ideas. With impeccable storytelling and razor-sharp analysis, they demonstrate that many of modern society's strategies for nurturing children are in fact backfiring--because key twists in the science have been overlooked.\u003cbr\u003e Nothing like a parenting manual, the authors' work is an insightful exploration of themes and issues that transcend children's (and adults') lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePo Bronson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of seven books, including \u003ci\u003eWhat Should I Do with My Life?\u003c\/i\u003e, a #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller with more than ten months on the list.
