- Full-color line art
- New chapter on the evolutionary theory of senescence and some of its proximate causes
- Complete updating of the research and discoveries in this fast-paced field
- Cell adhesion and extracellular matrix chapters combined and moved to Part One where they fit more naturally with gastrulation and organogenesis
- New Critical Thinking Questions follow the discussion of key experiments and test the students' understanding of the analytical process
- A robust new website with jpeg files for all line art and tables, access to movies and animations of interest to the developmental biologist, content updates, and exam questions.
An approach to developmental biology that recognizes the importance of classical and modern methods of analysis.
Chapter organization that recognizes the chronological order of developmental events, from gametogenesis to histogenesis.
A textbook explicitly designed and written for today's students:
- A teaching philosophy espousing science as a dynamic process for gaining understanding, rather than an overload of facts and results.
- Readable, concise and modern.
- An emphasis on Principles, the major developmental mechanisms (12 integrated in text ); Strategies, the fundamental experimental procedures used in developmental biology (7 integrated in text); and Methods, the labaratory tools most commonly used in developmental biology (11 Methods Boxes). The emphasis on recurring Principles, Stategies and Methods provides a sense of continuity and structure for the student faced with a plethora of new details and results.
Descriptions of experiments designed to test basic hypothesis on development are integrated throughout the text. Short explanations of key research methods are found in "methods" boxes.
A wide variety of organisms are used as illustrative examples, including those that lend themselves to genetic analysis.
Comprehensive treatment of growth control and cancer.
A complete chapter on plant pattern formation.
