The Movement Microcosm provides a guide to understanding and appreciating the growth of movement in the baby by offering practical suggestions for holding, positioning and interacting with the infant in ways that promote their sense of security and harmonious development. Our basic functional movements have been the result of an intense learning process in our childhood stage to adapt the locomotor system to the laws of gravity. This work introduces the development of the movement in the human being through descriptions and exquisitely detailed illustrations that start from the baby to the child in its fascinating way of crawling and crawling, sitting and standing, walking and running, until finally being able to jump. Phil Unseld presents an exhaustive summary of the current historical and theoretical perspectives of referents such as Feldenkrais, Pikler, Thelen and Bernstein on the motor development of the infant along with the observation, explanation and attention to detail of their practical experience. For those who are interested in how we learn to "plant ourselves in the world", The Microcosm of the Movement masterfully exposes the beauty of our development.
