The book has been used as a core text reference book in Universities
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.

Dr Anderson Brown’s scientific approach to this subject makes the book of great value for college and university courses that include Zoology, Embryology and Incubation.  The practical research by Dr. Anderson Brown and G.E.S. Robbins 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 now been developed into some of the most advanced and successful equipment available.
