This collaborative treatise by 23 North-American, five English and two
Swiss authors is a mine of information. The 17 chapters are authoritative and
well organised reviews which cover an extremely wide range of subjects including
structural, biochemical, pharmacological and physiological aspects.
The periods covered are embryonic and fetal life, the perinatal period, and
childhood.
The authors have been encouraged to speculate wherever appropriate in order
to stimulate discussion. There is some overlap among chapters but this is intentional.
Relatively little attention is devoted to the beginnings of organogenesis
and particularly its causal aspects.
The chapters are arranged more or less arbitrarily in four sections as follows:
I. Structural development (6 chs.), II. Biochemical development (5),
III. Physiological development (5), and IV. Abnormalities of the developing
lung ( 1 )
The book is produced in good offset print and is well illustrated; the
light and electron micrographs are of very good quality.
