Parents and parents-to-be are bombarded with information, from what to expect to what to do (and not to do) when it happens. But what they may not realize is that from the chemistry of pregnancy tests to the vacuum physics of breastfeeding, there is fascinating science at the heart of every aspect of creating and raising a new human. Written by science journalist Michael Banks, The Secret Science of Baby won't tell you how to raise a perfect violin-playing, Mandarin-speaking toddler, but it will shed a new light on how and why things happen as they do-from conception and pregnancy to cooing and pooing. Exploring the hidden physics behind uterine contractions, the fluid dynamics of diapers, and more, both parents and curious non-parents will gain a fresh perspective on the infant universe . . . and the thrilling science that makes it possible.
