Abstract
IN this book, Prof. Spemann has collected the main results of his life-long series of experiments on animal development and of those of his school, and he takes stock of the present position in regard to the problems of form-production. He is careful to warn his readers that this is not a text-book, but a record of a line of scientific thought pursued with the help of experimental methods. It is all the more welcome, for his acute analysis and logical progress from question to (experimentally provided) answer are most acceptable and helpful as guides through a field where isolated data are legion, but general principles few.
