Developmental Biology: A Comprehensive Synthesis: Volume 7: A Conceptual History of Modern Embryology

Historians, embryologists, embryologists-turned-historians, and historians-turned-embryologists collaborate on a history of embryology. The predominant theme in the volume is the concept of induction, a pivotal principle in the history of embryology and still an extremely active field of contemporary research. One of the values of this volume for contemporary developmental biologists should be to clarify some of the concepts that embryologists have bequeathed to developmental biology.
