THE WONDER OF BOYS

The question of what makes boys and girls different has had psychologists and scientists debating the nature vs. nurture debate for centuries. Yet Michael Gurian manages to make sense of it all in THE WONDER OF BOYS. He gives credence to the impact that society's treatment of boys has on their development. Yet, he also clearly explains the physiological differences between the male and female genders, focusing on what is inherent in the boys but not in the girls. Rather than choosing a side in the nature/nurture quagmire, he gently weaves the two together in a way that will make any parent of a boy nod with recognition and relief.
