The authors have a reputation for reporting on overlooked studies with rare results, as they boast in their chapter notes that their New York Magazine articles were popular. NutureShock is just another parenting book in a long line of books written by reporters for profit. Child Psychology isn’t one of those places. I’m not advocating gatekeeping there’s definitely a place for independent research and grass-roots efforts. This book isn’t a synthesis of research it’s an opinion piece with a conservative bent (indeed, Ashley Merryman’s back-flap bio boasts that she “ lives in Los Angeles, where she runs a church-based tutoring program for inner-city children.”) Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman are journalists, not scientists. We strive to publish the singular book, by authors who have a unique perspective and compelling authority.” The last page of the book has this blurb about Twelve: “TWELVE was established in August 2005 with the objective of publishing no more than one book per month.
