The Homeobox Story is a personal history of developmental biology
told by Walter Gehring, one of the subject’s pioneers. Despite the attractive
packaging and pictures, it is also a humourless and wooden read in desperate
need of some judicious editing. Developmental biology can’t be this dull, can
it? Published by Yale University Press, £25/$37, ISBN
0300074093.
