This is the ultimate in evidence for evidence-based practice! Perfect module for schools of medicine or nursing. Great for distance learning! (By separate arrangement) Dr. Bromberg Bar-Yam's review in the Journal of Human Lactation sums it up by saying; "Dr. Bergman defines terms clearly, and puts human development in mammalian and evolutionary context. His narrative is clear and understandable... One wishes Dr. Bergman was lecturing in person so that one could address questions directly to him."
