About this title

Synopsis

A new edition of Principles of Development, the authoritative undergraduate textbook on developmental biology. Written by a team of distinguished authors, led by Lewis Wolpert, one of the most influential developmental biologists of our time, the text focuses on principles and key concepts to guide students through this fascinating but often challenging subject. Those universal principles governing development in vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants are explained in a lively and engaging way, through both words and pictures.

Review

"This new edition is a significant and positive step in presenting a complex field of study to undergraduate students."--Craig M. Scott, Clarion University "I like the boxes in each chapter. Experimental technique boxes work well when the reader just wants to look up a technique. Boxes are also a good way to highlight concepts, or to go into detail on subjects that may or may not be covered in lectures."--Deborah Garrity, Colorado State University "Very clear writing style that the students will appreciate, and very clear figures."--Margaret Saha, College of William and Mary
