The author of this book is a radiologist, who in the course of his studies
on intestinal anomalies found that in certain respects the normal development
of the intestinal tract differs markedly from the generally accepted picture.
He therefore made a fresh study of this subject on human embryos measuring
from 12 mm in length upwards.
The main part of the book is illustrated with numerous photographs and
very clear coloured diagrams. The book is supplemented with a series of
radiographs of gastro-intestinal anomalies, with brief comments.
"A HISTORY OF EMBRYOLOGY"
2nd revised edition, 1959

304 pp., 25 figs., 18 pis., 3 charts Price: 52 s. 6 d.
This is the second edition of a classical book, first published in 1934. The
book has been revised and extended with the assistance of Dr. A. Hughes,
but its form has remained unchanged. It deals with the history of embryology
from antiquity until about 1800. The book is profusely illustrated.

This little book forms part of a series which aims at an adequate presentation
of the dynamic state of modern biology, to the benefit of students and teachers.
The present book indeed presents a very modern approach. In discussing the
problems of development in its widest sense the author does not restrict himselt
to the conventional examples, but often draws upon the sources of the most
recent research, carried out on organisms which until now have hardly penetrated
into books of elementary instruction, such as Gonyaulax, Acetabulars,
Achlya, and the cellular slime molds.
The book consists of eight chapters, three of which deal respectively with
sinqle cells, primitive multicellular organisms, and coelenterate development.
Aspects of the experimental embryology of the vertebrates are dealt with in
three other chapters, while a final chapter discusses general aspects of growth
and form. , , ,. r , , i
Literature references are not given, except for a short list of general books.
The illustrations are simple but clear line drawings and diagrams. An alphabetical
index concludes the book.
