"...should indeed be a valuable addition to the library of any serious student of the mammalian embryo." Nature

The editors present, in a single volume, a valuable reference source for students of mammalian embryology, genetics, and physiology, this book provides a thorough overview of the field of embryonic development - its current status along with possible directions in the future.
