Each and everyone of us began as a single cell, a fertilized egg. We are accustomed to this idea, and yet it continues to induce a sense of awe. How can it be that this single cell gives rise to the complete forms that make up the adult? How does one cell give rise to millions of cells, many of very different specialized funtions, in just the right proportions? How do they come to be organized into complete structures such as limbs, faces, hearts, or brains? How is it that the patterns are so stable and reatable generation after generation? Where in the egg is all this information encoded or embedded? The Triumph of the Embryo, offers the non-specialist reader insights into these most fundamental and important biological questions.
