Shaping Life : Genes, Embryos and Evolution (Darwinism Today series)

Editorial Reviews
R. Brian Ferguson, Natural History
A series of entertaining booklets based on the Darwin Seminars at the London School of Economics. Vehicles for popularizing evolutionary theory, these slim, cross-disciplinary books have been called 'bulletins from the barricades of an intellectual revolution.' . . . They provide a quick look at how some people are applying evolutionary ideas today.

Card catalog description
"During the past ten years, there has been a revolution in our understanding of developmental biology, as scientists apply the ideas and techniques of genetics and embryology to the processes of development. In this book, John Maynard Smith gives an account of the progress that has been made in this field - in our knowledge of both the development of individuals and the evolution of the species."--BOOK JACKET.
