This volume focuses specifically on the development of invertebrates, aiming to provide detail on the processes of embryology that are not typically found in standard textbooks. Through a comprehensive account of animal morphology, the work seeks to be a significant resource for both students and researchers in the field of embryology. The opening of this volume presents a preface that outlines the author's objectives for the text, stating a deliberate focus on comparative embryology from a morphological perspective. Balfour emphasizes the importance of understanding how embryonic development reflects evolutionary relationships among different species. He also discusses the organization of the content, dividing it into clearly defined sections and chapters, which include extensive references and illustrations, indicating a rigorous scientific methodology aimed at promoting clarity and accessibility for learners in embryological studies. The author acknowledges contributions and critiques from various prominent scientists, underscoring the collaborative nature of scientific progress.
