"PROBLEMES ET CONCEPTS DE L'EMBRYOLOGIE 



EXPERIMENTALE" 



1958 



by L. Gallien Gallimard, Paris 



(l'Avenir de la science, N.S., N.4) Price: Fr. 2500 



586 pp., 221 figs. 



The author of this book has aimed at filling up a gap existing in the biolo- 

 gical literature written in the French language. He has designed his book 

 particularly for the use of advanced biology students, and has devoted parti- 

 cular care to didactic aspects. 



Owing to size limitations some aspects of the subject had to be eliminated 

 or treated very briefly. This holds for gametogenesis, larval development and 

 regeneration, as well as for biochemical aspects. 



The author has not tried to be exhaustive in his treatment of the various 

 topics. He rather gives details only of such typical experiments as are best 

 suited to illustrate particular principles.
