Abstract
PROF. GLASS'S book is intended for teachers, and might form the text for a course of lectures on biology, particularly in its application to man. Its structure is definitely original. He begins with an account of the cell, including the organization of the nucleus as revealed by genetic studies, describes the segregation of genes and their functions in development, culminating in an account of human development which allows him to describe a good deal of elementary anatomy and physiology.
