5.0 out of 5 stars
Every developmental biologist should have this book.,
By John W. Fondon III (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Models for Embryonic Periodicity (Monographs in Developmental Biology, Vol, 24) (Paperback)
Dr. Held has done a fantastic job distilling pattern formation processes to a collection of model classes. The bibliography alone is priceless - an superb piece of scholarship. Thank you, Dr. Held.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Just plain Interesting.,
This review is from: Models for Embryonic Periodicity (Monographs in Developmental Biology, Vol, 24) (Paperback)
I used this book, authored by my professor, while taking developmental biology in my final semester of a Cell & Molecular Biology degree plan. The book reflects my professor's very interesting approach to learning development: skeptical examination (in the iconoclastic tradition) of the principles underlying various models, which is more important than traditional undergraduate memorization of -say -mammalian embryonic fate maps (bo-ring!). His work is the first to hold developmental mechanisms up to the light together for a discriminating view. Don't forget your mental climbing boots when you read this- there's not an ounce of fluff.

Superb scholarship!,
By John W. Fondon III (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Models for Embryonic Periodicity (Monographs in Developmental Biology) (Hardcover)
An unbelievably thorough, yet concise distillate of the whole of classical biological patterning theory. The bibliography alone is priceless.
