Just put this one on hold at my library. Actually, the library system owns two copies, but neither is held in my closest branch, so I'll have them get it off the shelf for me.

I also have checked out Finding Our Tongues: Mothers, infants, & the origins of Language by Dean Falk. It's a few books down in the pile, but I should get to it before I finally have to return it.
