Books about Incubation from Amazon.com

A recent rapid expansion in our knowledge of embryonic development in birds and reptiles has created a need for a book that comprehensively reviews and synthesizes data relating to incubation effects on the embryonic development of these two vertebrate classes. The contributors to this book aptly deal with these issues in logical parts. The first deals with the structure, shape, and function of eggs. The second examines the effects of the four main parameters, e.g. temperature, water relations, respiratory gas exchange, and turning, on the process of incubation. The third section deals with early embryonic development and the methods used to investigate and manipulate the embryo. Further chapters deal with estivation, megapodes, and oviparity..

"The Incubation Book" was the title of Dr Arthur Anderson Brown's original highly acclaimed book on this subject, which was reprinted four times. It was revised and updated in 1994 with many new photographs and an additional chapter. Now, the whole book has been revised again by G E S Robbins to include the advances in incubator manufacture and the latest incubation techniques in current use. The book is particularly recommended for all who are interested in incubation whether it be for pheasants, waterfowl, parrots, birds of prey, ratites, or many other unusual species, including reptiles. Brown's scientific approach to his subject makes the book of great value for college and university courses that include Zoology, Embryology and Incubation. The practical research of the authors has resulted in incubators with sophisticated electronic control of temperature, turning and humidity. These are now manufactured commercially for use around the world. Dr Anderson Brown's original ideas have been developed into some of the most advanced and successful equipment available..
