"...two of the most respected mouse developmental biologists have produced an exceptional book. Right from the outset, it highlights the incredible explosion in our knowledge and understanding of mammalian development over the past decade...will sit very comfortably upon any bookshelf." --Paul Trainor, Stowers Institute for Medical Research for NATURE CELL BIOLOGY (September 2002)"...an excellent resource for scientists interested in any of the selected topics covered by one of the authors." --DOODY'S NOTES (2002)
