Malacinski and D. Able:Reviews`Altogether, this is an attractive book and a worthy tribute to a fascinating and delightful creature.' Biologist This is the first major work to document the history and research record of this important amphibian species....Will be of value primarily to biological scientists and graduate students concerned with tissue culture and developmental biology. --Choice John Armstrong and George Malacinski have edited a fine book that compiles a cross section of developmental studies under way using the axolotl. They divide this book into three main parts: (1) natural history of the axolotl, (2) developmental studies using the axolotil, and (3) general and specific bits of information needed to rear and experiment with axolotls . . . . The articles are arranged in developmental order starting with gametogenesis and ending with an article on metamorphosis. In general, the papers are clear and concise, and as a result they are informative to both the generalist and specialist . . . . This book could be used both as an advanced undergraduate reference for general development and as a laboratory source for axolotl maintenance. --The Quarterly Review of Biology The general level of contributions is high, there is an extensive list of full references and a good index. Altogether, this is an attractive book and a worthy tribute to a fascinating and delightful creature. --The Biologist Everything you wanted to know about axolotls but were afraid to ask is included in this lucid and detailed account of their history and developmental and experimental biology . . . . an essential reference book. --Cell The final chapter on diagnosis and treatment of diseases simply must be read by anyone who has, or intends to have, an axolotl colony. The chapters are concisely written and consistent in style. They are thoroughly referenced and the citations are collected at the end of the book. It is unlikely that a similar collection of axolotl-specific literature can be found elsewhere in the world...and the references alone are worth the price of the book. I wish I could have read this book 17 years ago when I first began my studies with axolotls. --American Zoologist Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
