Though these 17 contributed chapters are divided into sections on assisted reproduction and nuclear transfer, the controversial field of assisted reproductive technology (ART) is treated as a continuum since assisted reproduction lays the technical groundwork for asexual reproduction by nuclear transfer. Addressing a wide audience of clinical ART practitioners, students, research scientists, and animal caretakers, specialists provide a historical overview of mammalian in vitro fertilization (IVF) and discuss the latest technical aspects of IVF and cloning (Dolly is mentioned). An especially intriguing application is preservation of endangered species. Includes ultrasound images, photomicrographs of eggs at different stages of nuclear maturation, and color three-dimensional mathematical models of follicular development. Wolf and Zelinski- Wooten are with the Oregon Regional Primate Research Center in Beaverton, OR (which has drawn protests from animal rights activists).Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR
