Editorial Reviews
Biology Digest, November 1999
Through a highly original synthesis of science and art, The Art of Genes describes a revolution in understandings of how plants and animals develop....[it] is for anyone curious about how and why plants, animals, and humans form, develop, and look the way that they/we do....It will appeal to any general reader with a curiosity about science, as it will students, teachers, and professional biologists. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Review
"It is arguable that the most important advance in biology in the past twenty years has been the revolution in our understanding of the mechanisms of development.... Developmental biology has been transformed from a field in which ingenious manipulative experiments generated speculations about unobservable underlying causes, such as gradients and prepatterns, to one in which we have a very detailed knowledge of what is actually going on at the molecular and cellular level. Enrico Coen has written a book that attempts, with considerable success, to convey the essence of this revolution to the lay reader. It will also be of great interest to those biologists...who have only a superficial knowledge of the subject."TREE
