Recensione

Review of the hardback: 'Edited by leading members of the field, Sernagor, Eglen, Harris, and Wong, the 17 chapters of Retinal Development are well organized, clearly written, nicely illustrated, and succinct. The volume is carefully edited to avoid the redundancy that often weighs down a multi-author volume. In fact it is so well done that I may leave it on our lunchroom table - and see what develops.' Peter Sterling

Review of the hardback: 'This book is an excellent resource for those working in the field of retinal biology, developmental neuroscience, or developmental biology.' Professor Connie Cepko, Harvard University

Review of the hardback: ' ... an excellent overview on the different steps of retinal development and the current knowledge in the field, starting from the early specification of the eye-field in the embryo up to the light-evoked responses in the retina after birth. It therefore brings out beautifully the broad spectrum of research and its importance for general developmental neurobiology ... Retinal Development is a comprehensive book that features a collection of excellent reviews. but rather than giving only an up-to-date view on the status quo in retinal research, it goes a step further and brings out some of the important open questions still to be answered, to understand the development of the retina as well as the nervous system in general. The book is therefore not only appropriate for specialists in the field of retinal research, but certainly for a wider scientific audience.' Robert Hindges, MRC Centre for Developmental Neurobiology, Kings College London

Review of the hardback: ' ... until now, a reference resource in the form of a review collection that guides the reader through the state-of-the-art approaches for studying retinal development has not been available ... as such, the book Retinal Development is especially welcome and is also a delightful read.' Development
