overall picture of the consequences of early malnutrition . . .[for] brain structure and 

 function". 



Because the present reviewer is not an expert, he feels he ought to say that not all 

 competent reviewers have been equally enthusiastic about the book. It is something be- 

 tween an exhaustive review and a basic account, and should perhaps be contrasted with 

 the equally recent but much longer book by Ph. R. Dodge and others on the same subject. 



The book is attractively produced and has many clear graphs and diagrams.
