Into the short compass of this book Professor Graetz has succeeded in compressing an eminently readable survey of the directions in which the atomic theory, as accepted in the nineteenth century, has been extended by the remarkable and almost revolutionary physical investigations and discoveries of the two decades preceding the book's original publication in 1923.

"Crying as a Sign, a Symptom and a Signal" brings the reader up to date on new evidence concerning the developmental and clinical significance of infant crying in the first few months and years of life. Initially studied as a sign of disease, crying is now being understood not only as a sign, but also as a symptom of problematic functioning in early development. We now know much more about normative patterns of development of infant crying and how they may be manifest in a variety of clinical settings (emergency room complaint, painful procedures, colic, temper tantrums, non-verbal and mentally challenged infants). This has brought about a new conceptualization of the significance of early infant crying which an international team of experts describe and examine. In this authoritative clinical text, both historical and methodological perspectives are brought to a multidisciplinary synopsis of the new understanding of this infant behavior.

A mother and two daughters grapple with aging, illness, the lack and loss of memories, the reversal of parenting, and the hard resolutions. It's about embracing the unknown; learning to adapt to the spontaneous landscape of mood swings, the out-of-place (sometimes startling) comments and questions, the suspicion, and then finally accepting that it's not about "things aren't like they used to be," rather "everything is new," even memories are scrutinized under a new looking glass.
