Carnell Professor, Chair of the Psychology Department at Temple University, and investigator on the NICHD Study of Early Child Care \"Messages from Home is an important resource for those interested in child development and education. For researchers and for those who are beginning their careers in research, it demonstrates what can be learned through a well-thought out and well-conducted longitudinal investigation. Further, it provides insights about how Phyllis Levenstein and her colleagues grappled with issues of randomization, adequacy of research measures, fidelity of implementation, and the ethics of working with families. For practitioners and others who might want to replicate the Parent-Home Program, there is enough detail provided to make that decision. Finally, policy makers can learn about a very low cost intervention that has had a long-term impact on children who are at risk for educational disadvantage and their families.\" Teacher's College Record\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParent-Child Home Program Chronology; Foreword (by Kathryn Barnard); Co-Author's Preface (by Susan Levenstein); Prologue To The Second Edition (by Phyllis Levenstein); Introduction 1.
