“This text provides a review of some of the scientific literature on sea urchin biology, as presented at an international workshop held in Italy in 2000. It is especially valuable for the several papers it contains on sea urchin embryo and larval development, which are accompanied by detailed photographs and line drawings. … this is a worthwhile and useful text for anyone interested in the biology and culture of these animals.” —Stephen Eddy, Cathy Rees, in Northeastern Naturalist, Vol. 13, No. 3, 2006
