Reviews
"This gem of a book, vast in erudition and insight and rich in mind-boggling scientific observation, will leave the reader both humbled and grateful." --From the foreword by Gabor Maté, author of The Myth of Normal "Darcia Narvaez and G. A. Bradshaw invite us to turn to Nature and our nonhuman Animal relatives to learn the ways of 'mothering'--of care for the earth, all her beings, and future generations." --Dr. Vandana Shiva, physicist, ecofeminist, and food sovereignty activist "The most thought-provoking, fascinating, challenging, beautiful book I've read in years." --Bruce D. Perry, MD, PhD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, and coauthor of What Happened to You? "This book is an absolute pleasure to read, yet at the same time it provocatively challenges us to rethink our relationship with and moral responsibilities to the other species with whom we share the planet." --Allan N. Schore, PhD, Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine "...a timely and vital tour of our evolutionary history of cooperative child-rearing...a crucial documentation of how our ancestral history is [more] one of collaborating as a larger identity than the lessons modern culture portrays of solo-self in isolation." --Daniel J. Siegel, MD, New York Times best-selling author of IntraConnected "Narvaez and Bradshaw show that our refusal to accept and cherish the commonality we have with other beings is undermining our ability to raise children to be happy and socially functional adults. If only we paid attention to how other Animals do it." --Dr. Reed Noss, past president of the Society for Conservation Biology "...a breathtakingly comprehensive, insightful, and singularly creative understanding of the intimate connections between humans and Animals." --Richard M. Lerner, director of the Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development at Tufts University "In this masterpiece of reconceptualization, Narvaez and Bradshaw reveal the deep commonalities in the developmental systems of both humans and our nonhuman Relatives." --Jeremy Lent, author of The Web of Meaning and The Patterning Instinct "Profound, wonder-filled, and deeply reasoned." --Dacher Keltner, director of the Berkeley Social Interaction Lab and author of AWE "[T]he future of our fragile, magnificent, and interconnected planet depends on the goodwill and love of everyone living everywhere .... And there is no better cohort on which to focus than youngsters, because they are the future." --Marc Bekoff, author of Rewilding Our Hearts " The Evolved Nest has much to teach academics, society, and parents about how to support the rearing of a healthy child." --C. Sue Carter, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Virginia "...a fascinating and lively way to begin learning about how human childcare fits into the vast spectrum and deep evolutionary history of the caring that is central to community." --Melvin Konner, MD, PhD, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Anthropology, Program in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology at Emory University "...simultaneously brilliant and breathtaking." --Douglas P. Fry, PhD, author of War, Peace, and Human Nature

Through scientific insights and lessons from the Animal world, The Evolved Nest shows us how to restore natural wellness in our families and communities by living in harmony with Nature. Each chapter explores a species-unique "evolved nest:" a way of living with Nature and raising families, perfected through evolution over millions of years to optimize development.

- 8***8 (0)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis was a difficult purchase to make. I rarely want to spend more than $20 for a book but this book was rare, so I made several offers. The Seller was nice enough to make counter offers, and we settled on a fair price. The package arrived very quickly and was very well protected. I was very impressed. I would highly recommend buying a book from Lost City Books.
