From the reviews of the second edition: "The new edition of 'The Neural Crest' - the first edition was published in 1999 - again tries to consider all aspects of neural crest cells. ... At the end, there is an overwhelming list of references ... and the obligatory index. ... There is plenty for both researchers and scientists ... in this well-organized and clearly written book." (Hartmut Greven, Bulletin of Fish Biology, Vol. 11 (1/2), December, 2009)
