This highly readable book is a concise and fascinating account of the nine months from conception to birth. It deals with prenatal development and learning, and discusses the effects of nutrition, maternal characteristics and experiences, drugs (including the "pill," aspirin, marijuana, and LSD), and diseases. Finally, it summarizes the most recent scientific advances that increase a baby's chances of being born normal.
