These are interesting to read, and the style and prose are clear most of the time. However, just as important is what is missing: most chapters are incomplete listings of biological details organized roughly taxonomically, rather than thorough treatments of each group. Major phyla are missing entirely (such as the echinoderms, annelids, and sipunculans) or largely (such as the arthropods, which are strangely void of insects, myriapods, and chelicerates). Yet what is perhaps the most significant absence is the lack of any overarching developmental, ecological, or evolutionary framework within which to position, interpret, and analyze the diversity of invertebrate embryonic development. As such, Invertebrate Embryology and Reproduction is more of an incomplete reference catalog, rather than a comprehensive treatment of invertebrate embryogenesis. It will probably have its greatest value in libraries as a possible reference and stepping stone toward primary literature that may perhaps otherwise be harder to find.\" \u003cb\u003e--QRB\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eInvertebrate Embryology and Reproduction\u003c\/i\u003e deals with the practical and theoretical objectives of the descriptive embryology of invertebrates, along with discussions on reproduction in these groups of animals. It explains several morphological and anatomical expressions in the field and covers the embryology of invertebrate animals, starting from the Protozoa, to the Echinodermata, the Protochordate and Tunicates. These groups include economically important aquatic invertebrates, such as crustaceans, as well as medically important invertebrates and economic arthropods. Each chapter is preceded by the taxonomy of the discussed phylum and\/or the species to enable the reader to locate the systematic position. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
