Not only are there hundreds of books there (fifty more added just since yesterday), you can use a little search engine that is available on alomost every page. You can put in a query, e.g., "neural crest".. and presto, you've made your own "book" on that topic, with dozens of "chapters" to read. The information is a wonderful entangled web of easily accessible material that you can examine from any angle, slice however you want. Brilliant. A boon for those of us who have a larger thirst for knowlege than we have space for actual books.
