Cell cycle and cell differentiation
Book N e w s Included in this section are those books which have been received for review, or of which we have otherwise been informed. The mention of a book in this section does not preclude subsequent review in the Journal.
Cell Cycle and Cell Differentiation (Results and Problems in Cell Differentiation, 7). Edited by J. Reinert & H. Holtzer. 1975. Berlin, Heidelberg & New York: Springer-Verlag. A vol. in-8 ~ xii -k- 334 pp., 92 figs, tabs, bibl., index. Bound $29.70. This is the 7th volume of the "Series of Topical Volumes in Developmental Biology". T h e aim of the authors of the present book is to provide a better understanding of the controversial problem of the relationship between the ceil cycle a n d cell differentiation. Contents
Myogenesis" a cell lineage interpretation--S. R. Dienstman and H. Holtzer. The organization of red cell differentiation--H. Weintraub. The cell cycle, cell lineage and neuronal specificity--R. K. Hunt. Neurogenesis and the cell cycle---C. H. Phelps and S. E. Pfeiffer. The cell cycle and cell differentiation in the drosophila ovary--R. C. King. The cell cycle and cellular differentiation in insects--P. Lawrence. Nuclear transplantation and the cyclic reprogramming of gene expression--J. B. Gurdon. Morphogenesis during the cell cycle of the prokaryote, Caulobaeter crescentus--N. B. Wood and L. Shapiro. Cell division and the determination phase of cytodiffcrentlation in plants--F. Meins, Jr. The cell cycle and tumorigenesis in plants---A. C. Braun. Cell cycle and liver function--R. Tsanev. Histones, differentiation and the cell cycle--Th. IV. Borun. Cell changes in neurospora--R. E. Nelson, C. P. Selitrennikoff and R. W. Siegel.
H u m a n Biology. An Introduction to H u m a n Evolution, Variation, Growth and Ecology By G. A. Harrison, J. S. Weiner, J. M. T a n n e r & N. A. Barnicot. 1977 . Oxford: Oxford University Press. A vol. in-8 ~ xiv -}- 502 pp., figs, tabs, bibl., index. Paper s This is the second edition of a very well written textbook dealing with nature, origins, development and causes of h u m a n variety and with the biological organization of past and present h u m a n populations. T h e choice of topics is of particular interest for students of h u m a n biology, biological anthropology and medicine. Journal of Human Evolution (1978) 7, 269-275
