Review of the hardback: 'Edited by leading members of the field, Sernagor, Eglen, Harris, and Wong, the 17 chapters of Retinal Development are well organized, clearly written, nicely illustrated, and succinct. The volume is carefully edited to avoid the redundancy that often weighs down a multi-author volume. In fact it is so well done that I may leave it on our lunchroom table - and see what develops.'
