Summary
I have added two appendices to the book. The first considers briefly some 40 recent papers of particular morphogenetic interest, the references being grouped under the appropriate section number in the main text. Appendix 2 summarises the properties used by mesenchymal and epithelial cells to make structures in embryos. Together, these properties comprise a morphogenetic toolkit of abilities, with distinct subsets being employed for each tissue.
