This text can be conveniently contrasted with Berrill's "Developmental Biology" 

 issued by the same pubhsher in 1971 . The present book is more conventional in the arran- 

 gement of its subject matter but the scope is similar and it is equally excellent in its way. 

 Perhaps this book is more suitable for the usual type of developmental biology course. 



The treatment is beautifully balanced and integrated and the style is fluent and capti- 

 vating. Equal attention goes to structural, cellular and molecular aspects, and the integra- 

 tion of the organism is emphasised throughout. Examples from the world of plants are 

 restricted. Special features are separate chapters on the immune system, malignancy, 

 aging, metamorphosis, regeneration, and asexual development. (Two subjects that are 

 conspicuously lacking are germ cell determinants and induction in the amphibian blas- 

 tula.) There is a most useful brief appendix on the sophisticated modern methods in use 

 today. 



The illustrations, many of which are the same as in the earUer book, are well chosen, 

 have good captions, and are well reproduced. The reading Usts at the end of all chapters 

 are excellent. 



C.F.GRAHAM and P. F. WAREING, eds. 1976. THE DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY 

 OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS 



Blackwell, Oxford, etc. XII, 393 pp., 238 figs., 33 tabs., combined subject and taxonomic 

 index. £ 7.75 (paper) 



Contents (abridged): Part 1, The origin of cell heterogeneity in early development; 

 Part 2, Determination and pluripotentiaUty; Part 3, Cell interactions in development; 

 Part 4, Hormonal control of development; Part 5, The molecular biology of develop- 

 ment; Part 6, Environmental control of development. (23 chapters) 



This is the first unified account of plant and animal development written for advanced 

 undergraduate and graduate courses, at least in English. It was written by 20 predomi- 

 nantly British authors, estabUshed authorities as well as younger people. The starting 

 point in selecting topics was that they would be treated in depth rather than giving com- 

 prehensive coverage at a general level; hence, topics were chosen both for their general 

 bearing and for the amount of well-established information available on them. The editors 

 have been very successful in integrating the chapters by introducing and summarising the
