A Moment in Time
On an autumn day in 1998, college student Laura Hanson is in the prime of her life. One moment she is driving home after a hayride; the next moment she is paralyzed, deaf, and comatose after her car strikes a tree. Shared through the eyes of a mother's heart, this poignant memoir of a traumatic journey into the little known world of brain injury is an incredible story of love lost and love endured-of heroes determined to overcome insurmountable obstacles-and of a family as it struggles to cope with the loss of their daughter. Mary Hanson chronicles her searing personal experience from the moment her daughter is carried on to the flight-for-life helicopter at the accident scene through a hospital's trauma center to the brain injury units of two others, and finally to a group home.

Development of the brain and the emergence of the mind constitute some of the most important concerns of contemporary biology. Disturbances during fetal life may have profound implications for a child's future neurological and psychological development, which can in turn impact society. The new edition of this highly respected work presents a comprehensive review of the basic mechanisms of brain development and the pathophysiology of disorders of the infant brain, written by a team of distinguished neuroscientists, neonatologists, and neuropediatricians. The book follows the main milestones of brain development, from formation of the neural tube and wiring of the neurons in the brain. Neurotrophic factors, neurotransmitters, glial cell biology, cerebral circulation development of sensory functions are all described in detail. Furthermore, there are more philosophical chapters on the evolution of the brain and the emergence of consciousness. Clinical considerations are highlighted where relevant.
