PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Dr Barry KB Berkovitz qualified in Dental Surgery at the Royal Dental Hospital in London in 1962. There soon followed three years of postgraduate research at Royal Holloway College London. Between 1966 and 2004 his time was equally divided between teaching Gross Anatomy and Dental Anatomy, first at the University of Bristol and later at King's College London. He is the author of numerous books and scientific papers, many related to comparative dental anatomy. His well-known textbook 'Oral Anatomy, Histology and Embryology ' by BKB Berkovitz, GR Holland and BJ Moxham is now reaching its 5th edition, while his most recent popular science book is entitled 'Nothing but the Tooth'. Dr R Peter Shellis graduated from Birmingham University (BSc in Zoology and Comparative Physiology, 1966, MSc in Radiobiology, 1967). From 1968 to 1972 he worked with Prof AEW Miles at the London Hospital Medical College on the development of teeth in fishes. From 1972 to 1998 Dr Shellis worked on dental caries for the Medical Research Council in Bristol, also publishing research on comparative dental anatomy, particularly on primate tooth structure. Later, he worked with Prof M Addy (Bristol) and Prof A Lussi (Bern) on dental erosion and was Editor-in-Chief of Caries Research (2000-2009). Dr Shellis won the Colgate-Palmolive Prize (British Society for Dental Resarch) in 1981 and the ORCA Prize (European Organization for Caries Research: ORCA) in 2011. He is an Honorary Member of ORCA since 2010.
This imposing, impressive and informative text acts as a companion to The Teeth of Non-Mammalian Vertebrates, which was released in 2017 (and reviewed in the April 2017 issue of the FDJ), and will thus complete the description of vertebrate dentitions in current existence. It is a very eye-catching hardback of over 300 pages in 16 chapters, each with its own reference list. As expected from two such eminent authors, this text will prove a vital addition to research and teaching communities looking to make sense of the mammalian world and its influence on the human experience. --Faculty Dental Journal Berkovitz and Shellis have done a masterful job. The descriptions are comprehensive and the photographic illustrations are ample. This volume is a perfect companion to The Teeth of Non-Mammalian Vertebrates. And together, these two volumes present a fitting celebration of Darwin's endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful. --Quarterly Review of Biology
