Have you noticed how easily babies learn to wave 'bye-bye', shake their heads for no and nod for yes? These are the most simple forms of Baby Signs which enable babies to communicate effectively before they are able to say the word. Unfortunately most parents never realise their baby's potential for learning other gestures that make it possible for parents to interact with their child in ways that would otherwise have been impossible until thier baby could talk. The authors have spent more than a decade researching and studying the effects of Baby Signs on infant communication and the results have been overwhelming. Not only do parents gain a much greater understanding of their children and their needs but babies develop skills that enrich their comprehension of language. In BABY SIGNS, the author provide parents with a fun and simple programme for teaching children Baby Signs at home. It includes easy to follow illustrated signs and photographs as well as popular nursery rhymes and stories with signs, allowing infants to reach out and forge bonds of affection and satisfaction that will last a lifetime.
Unforgettable... a remarkable book
—— NewsweekDramatic, graphic and wrenching

—— PeopleRarely has the subject of marriage been attended to with such intelligence, breadth of reading and insight, but also with such scrutiny and hope
—— Hisham MatarA comprehensively researched, wry examination of the many dimensions of marriage and how it has evolved
—— KirkusExploring her own marriage has given Baum a unique vantage point from which to investigate the private intricacies of other people's arrangements . . . Her ability to sit in the midst of those arguments and unpick their various strands makes her work compelling, as does her willingness to self-interrogate
—— TimesThis delightful, acrobatic book is funny, thought-provoking and rigorous at the same time. An effervescent and timely meditation on marriage
—— Darian LeaderDevorah Baum brings her literary understandings, psychoanalytic scholarship and great aplomb to the marriage conundrum. It's very funny too. Who wouldn't want to marry Devorah?
—— Susie OrbachOn Marriage is characterized by this kind of agile curiosity . . . Baum holds [marriage] up as a seduction
—— Rebecca Mead , The New YorkerBecause marriage doesn't always bring out the best in us, it makes us wonder what the best in us might be. It is part of the extraordinary wit and wisdom of Baum's remarkable book to show us what kind of romance, and experiment in living, we have wanted marriage to be
—— Adam PhillipsEverything you thought you knew about conjugal beds, secrets, feuds, confessions, triangulations and solaces will be pleasurably complicated by Devorah Baum's wryly insightful tell - all regarding the infinite perversity of marriage - including her own, mine, and probably yours
—— Laura KipnisOn Marriage is a hugely thought-provoking, witty, warm tour around every significant writer and thinker on love to have emerged since Adam and Eve. Baum is a charming guide to the wisdom of her inspiring judiciously curated cohort
—— Alain de BottonBaum looks at marriage from multiple angles, legal and political, social and narrative, its interminability and its dailiness . . . it can be funny or tragic or both. Baum’s methodology is to look at what is missing – a philosophy of marriage, a clear idea of what this dominant structure is and how it influences lives. Lovely
