《书目》(Booklist)书评
There's little disputing that the egg is, indeed, nature's perfect package. Burton's surprisingly interesting survey relays an amazing array of information, offering details on fertilization, incubation, the hatching process, etc., for many species. More than 300 color photos show seemingly every conceivable stage of egg development, including focus on chicken embryos, crocodile eggs, and insect larvae. For students, nature lovers, or simply the curious, this book offers rare insight into one of life's tiny wonders. Index. MES. 591.1'6 Eggs / Embryology / Reproduction [CIP]

A stunning book but unfortunately written for the wrong audience or perhaps for no audience at all. As a collection of photographs relating to eggs and their production it is absolutely superb. However, the text tying the photographs together is too much for the casual reader and too little for the serious student. This weakness is demonstrated most strongly in the later chapters where development is summarized to the point of genuine inadequacy. This is a truly lovely book, but not one of substance.-F.W.

This slim, profusely illustrated volume makes the abstruse subject of embryology accessible to a high school, college, and general adult readership. Describing how eggs of all types are made, fertilized, and develop in animals ranging from simple invertebrates through birds and mammals, the book touches briefly on evolution, reproduction, genetics, and animal behavior. Burton uses photographic sequences to illustrate cell division and differentiation into discrete organs. Showing how differences in environment and incubation manifest themselves in physical structural differences between various species' eggs, he further reveals that such differences mask fundamental similarities of embryo development among species.
