A masterly piece of work, clearly presented and attractively printed.

* Quartrely Review of Biology *

The high caliber, the style of writing, the logical thinking, the personal verification of most of the details presented-even when they are credited to a previous author-and the many superbly drafted illustrations ( very few of which are copied) are typical of this author's works.
