May have name/sticker written on first page only, other than that, No writing, or markings. Good Condition, shows minor signs of wear. Not ex library. Shipped with care. --- Edited by Benjamin H. Willier, with Jane M. Oppenheimer, who also supplies a new introduction to this enlarged version of the collection. The book collects papers that set the course of experimental work on the embryo, most of them translated into English, with editorial introductions placing each in context. It opens with Wilhelm Roux's 1888 manifesto for developmental mechanics and his experiment of destroying one of the first two cells of a frog egg to produce half-embryos. Hans Driesch's 1892 study of what each of the first two cleavage cells of the sea urchin can produce follows. Later papers include the 1924 organizer experiment of Hans Spemann and Hilde Mangold, along with contributions by Child, Holtfreter and others. The volume is illustrated. Feel free to ask for photos or more detail.
