During animal development the descendants of a single cell form
many different tissues and organs in appropriate positions within
an embryo. To do this they must recognise their position, and our
knowledge of how this is done is examined in this book. It starts
by considering how much spatial pattern is already laid down when
the egg forms inside the mother, and ends just before the formation
of visible organs. Within these limits it considers evidence
obtained by a variety of techniques, both experimental and
biochemical, and from the embryos of many different animal groups.
This breadth of coverage and the amount of detail afforded,
particularly to the experimental studies, distinguish it from
competing works and will make it an interesting review. Moreover,
in the final chapter the author analyzes this evidence in ways
which will be new to most readers, and which call into question
current ideas about spatial determination.
