Basic Concepts in Teratology
نویسنده
چکیده
Given this inherent complexity, the text is remarkably well integrated and presents a balanced picture of current knowledge and questions. As in any book written by many authors, the style and quality of chapters vary, but the overall quality of writing is very good. The chapters by Milton Hildebrand ("Walking and Running"), James L. Edwards ("Terrestrial Locomotion Without Appendages"), and Joseph S. Levine ("The Vertebrate Eye") are particularly well written and informative. All chapters are profusely illustrated and well referenced. Although the authors intend the book to be used either as a text for advanced students or as a reference for instructors, a casual reader with sufficient background in science and mathematics should also find it intriguing.
