Editorial Review:
Witness the dramatic unfolding of the human form in all its potential. Join John E. Upledger, D.O., O.M.M., as he takes you from the union of sperm and egg through the development of the complex circuitry that makes up the human brain. You'll learn about birth, growth, function and dysfunction, and how all these aspects influence physical, mental, and emotional well-being. For easy reference, he also maps out the central nervous system and the functions of all its parts. You'll discover problems that can alter brain and spinal cord development in each of the first eight weeks of pregnancy, and then monthly right through delivery. A Brain Is Born details some of the insults and injuries that can affect the newborn and commonsense ways to avoid them. Perhaps most importantly, he provides an outline of simple physical tests that can help determine the status of a baby's nervous system, including a step-by-step process for treating potential problems through the use of CranioSacral Therapy and related therapeutic approaches. This breakthrough book empowers parents with knowledge to help them make practical decisions concerning the health of their children.

An excellent resource book for development and function of the nervous system. Written in an easy to understand language with great illustrations to accompany otherwise complex functions within the human body.
Rating: - Great book for expectant mothers
Dr. Upledger's "Brain Is Born" proves a delightful read for the curious expectant mother. This book is designed to give the lay reader detailed insight into how a baby is created and develops from fertilization until the baby is born.
I found this work fascinating. The whole time I read the book, I reminded myself to make sure and read this book when I'm pregnant. Each week Dr. Uplegder tells you want part of your baby's brain and body is growing and how your health and emotions can ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent book for prospective and curious parents!
I found this book to be an excellent source of information valuable to all parents interested in the brain function of their children. Dr. Upledger has a way of taking complicated subjects and making them understandable to non medical people like myself. I found the cartoon drawings very helpful in bringing humor and easing what could be overwhelming or "scary" medical information.
Rating:  - Mostly an advertisement; poorly written.
Mostly an advertisement for the author's CrainioSacral therapy, this book is poorly written and full of crude hand-drawn figures.
