The works of Francis Maitland Balfour, Volume 1 (of 4)
Francis Maitland Balfour and M. (Michael), Sir Foster
Francis Balfour died young on a mountainside, but not before founding modern comparative embryology. This first volume of his collected works gathers early papers on geology and the growth of the embryo's layers. Rigorous and pioneering, it shows a brilliant mind at its start. Trace the beginnings of a science that studies beginnings.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
