5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for everyone to read about importance of touch, 3 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Ashley Montague is really on target about the needs of the human body in regard to touch.Infants who bond with their parents the first few years of life are so much more secure. He has written such valuable information which is more relevant today than ever. We could have less violent children and adults if proper touch and bonding occurred as infants. Read this book and practice it as a means of creating peace in the world. Spread the word to hospitals to teach new parents about the importance of touch for their infants. Read and recommend this book to all of your friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep touching., 26 Feb 2006
By A Customer
Brilliant!!!Though it mainly focuses on research conducted in the 1980s it still packs a punch!!!Great for all budding psychologists as well as mothers to be.It lifts a weignt off your shoulders knowing that someone has finally written down what people have believed in for centuries.Succinct analysis of the human species!
