Recensione

'There is no shortage of textbooks devoted to development biology, but it is remarkably rare to find any substantial treatment of physical considerations ... Forgacs and Newman have ... done the developmental biology community a great service ... An interesting feature of this book is the inclusion of a substantial amount of material on models of genetic/biochemical networks and pattern formation ...' Nick Monk, University of Sheffield

'... one way to describe [the book] is to say that it is an extension of D'Arcy Thompson's great work ... I should not omit to mention the illustrations, which are artistic. Students with a background in physics, chemistry or mathematics, and an interest in biological problems, will benefit greatly from this book ... Forgacs and Newman have assimilated much from a vast and diverse literature. They manage to convey a great deal of information, interesting in itself ... my guess is that most developmental biologists will be familiar with only a tiny part of it.' Current Science
