Magic Trees of the Mind: How to Nurture Your Child's Intelligence, Creativity, and Healthy Emotions from Birth Through Adolescence
by Marian Diamond and Janet L. Hopson
Penguin USA, January 1999.
ISBN: 0452278309
Marian Diamond, pioneering brain researcher at the University of California at Berkeley, and Janet Hopson, an editor and columnist for Science News, have written a groundbreaking book that combines leading-edge neuroscience with practical suggestions for parents and teachers. Diamond's previous book, Enriching Heredity, documented the plasticity of the brain and explained her findings that the brain can change structurally and functionally throughout life.
This book, based on interviews with noted scientists and original surveys of thousands of parents and children, shows how to create optimal environments for the healthy development of children. Each chapter includes true examples of children from different kinds of environments and how they affected their lives. Then the authors explain the neurological underpinnings of these stories in easy to understand language along with useful suggestions and resources. A rich resource guide of books, articles, organizations, and tools for enrichment is included in the appendix. We predict that parents will want to keep this invaluable resource close at hand as their children grow and develop.
