Reviews and Endorsements

'In this single book. [Simon House] has brought together in a readable manner the recent findings of nutrition and psychology, biochemistry and emotion.. "The window of opportunity" that seals the intelligence, behaviour, and health of those about to be born is lost for many of the 55,000 babies born at low birthweights in the United Kingdom. This book presents the case for a paradigm shift towards the nutrition and emotional health of the mother and her unborn child. In my opinion there can be no more effective and economical way to benefit people's health, happiness, and peacefulness.. Fully referenced, this an authoritative book in the quest for global health and peace.'
- From the Foreword by Michael A. Crawford, PhD, CBiol, FIBiol, FRCPath, Director of the Institute of Brain Chemistry and Human Nutrition, London Metropolitan University

'This book by Roy Ridgway and Simon House is truly a key text in the field of prenatal psychology, with its history and dramatic progress over the past few years being comprehensively presented. The unborn child we all once were is part of our biography. The foundations for our later life - and hence for our health or susceptibility to illness - are laid during the prenatal period. The way in which we deal with children at the beginning of their life and ensure their nutritional needs are met, is of fundamental significance for society and health policy. The fields of social sciences, politics, medicine and psychotherapy, urgently need the information that is presented so comprehensively and knowledgeably in this book. It makes a stimulating, exciting and moving read for the general public and is also a manual for experts from the field.'
- Ludwig Janus, MD, President of the International Society for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Medicine, 1996 - 2006
