From the reviews: "Asymmetric cell division is a process whereby one cell generates two daughter cells that differ in size or developmental potential . ... The book is targeted at scientists working in the field ... . it would be appropriate for a biology department's library. ... Scientists or students, however, who work in this field and who have already read some of the mainstream review articles, might find this book a useful addition for understanding the less well-covered areas of asymmetric cell division research."
