Tiffany Field is director of the Touch Research Institute and a professor in the Department of Pediatrics, Psychology, and Psychiatry at the University of Miami School of Medicine. Her publications include Infancy (1990) and Touch (2001).
“The Amazing Infant is a fabulous book. Beautifully crafted,
written by one of the most creative figures in the field of
infancy, this book will charm both college students and parents
wanting to learn about the wonders of the baby’s mind. Who needs
dinosaurs or astronomical Big Bangs when we have babies to explore?
The infant is the keeper of many, many mysteries, and this book
engages us in exploring quite a few of them.”
Joseph J. Campos, University of California, Berkeley
“Tiffany Field is without question our leading researcher and
writer on the role of touch in infant development and behavior. The
Amazing Infant is an excellent primer on infant behavior and
development, utilizing her personal experiences with her own
daughter’s development. An exceptional aid for new parents as well
as students.”
Lewis P. Lipsitt, Brown University
“This book is a very good read. The writing style is engaging and
easy to follow. It is also truly unique in the field of infant
development … a field in which far too little attention has been
paid to the obvious fact that infants’ development involves
learning and that specific patterns of maternal behavior are
essential for successful child behavioral outcomes.”
Martha Pelaez, Florida International University
“A prolific writer…Field provides thumbnail sketches of what is
known to this point on a variety of topics, with emphasis on recent
research findings.”
Choice “An enjoyable read.”
