      abstract = {The book integrates our understanding of the factors and  processes underlying the evolution of multicellularity by  providing several complementary perspectives (both  theoretical and experimental) and using examples from  various lineages in which multicellularity evolved. Recent  years marked an increased interest in understanding how and  why these transitions occurred, and data from various  fields are providing new insights into the forces driving  the several independent transitions to multicellular life  as well as into the genetic and molecular basis for the  evolution of this phenotype. The ultimate goal of this book  is to facilitate the identification of general and unifying  principles and mechanisms.},
