"In A Thousand Days of Wonder, Fernyhough, a psychologist and novelist, attempts to get inside his daughter's head as Athena acquires all the faculties that makes us human, including social skills, language, morality, and a sense of self. He observes her first sleepy movements, the whites of her eyes roaming behind half-closed lids like those of a 1950s sci-fi alien, and explains the neuroscience behind her first fragile moments of consciousness."--Inside jacket.
