Neuware -Wolpert's Principles of Development, the latest edition of the prize-winning textbook, opens up the fascinating field of developmental biology to undergraduates studying biology, medicine, and veterinary science. By focusing on the underlying processes shared by diverse organisms, the textbook lays the foundation for a deep understanding. Key features - An emphasis throughout on the underlying principles - which underpin the commonalities between different organisms and their development - enables students to get a clear sense of the 'big picture' of the subject. - Custom-drawn artwork and integrated animations and videos help to make the visualisation of processes and mechanisms in this challenging subject as straightforward as possible. - Medical Boxes explore key developmental diseases and explain how developmental biology furthers our understanding human health and disease. Further experimental detail, including Experimental Boxes, from both classic and current research, demonstrates 'how we know what we know'. - Also available as an Elektronisches Buch enhanced with learning objectives, self-assessment interactive quizzes and multi-media content to offer a fully immersive experience and extra learning support. New to this edition - Chapter 7, a new chapter on Embryonic stem cells, embryo models, and regenerative medicine, to ensure the book's coverage stays up to date with this very active area of developmental biology research. - Chapters 3 and 4 on vertebrate development have been restructured and updated, especially in relation to mouse development, to ensure major concepts and principles are explained with recent supporting experimental evidence. - Chapter 10 on the nervous system has been completely revised and updated, with more emphasis on neural tube patterning. - Chapter 14, which covers nematodes and sea urchins, now appears online as part of the Elektronisches Buch. - There are more examples of the use of CRISPR to address problems like sickle cell disease (Ch6), and evolution of limbs from fins (Ch13). - Examples of single-cell RNA sequencing can be found throughout the book (Ch3, Ch6, Ch7, Ch10, Ch11, Ch12). - Smaller revisions, updates, and new figures have been included throughout. Digital formats and resources The seventh edition is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats: the Elektronisches Buch and Science Trove offer a mobile experience and convenient access along with interactive self-test questions, videos, flashcards, supplementary materials, functionality tools, navigation features and links that offer extra learning support.

About the Author
Alfonso Martinez Arias, ICREA Research Professor at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. His research makes use of Pluripotent Stem Cells to develop in vitro models of early mammalian development with a focus on the process of gastrulation. Before moving to the UPF he spent 35 years at the University of Cambridge (UK) where he did research and taught Developmental Biology in graduate and undergraduate courses.
Marysia Placzek, Professor at the University of Sheffield. Marysia is a neurobiologist who studies development of the vertebrate neural tube, with a particular focus on the hypothalamus. For the last 30 years she has combined research with undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, co-ordinating modules in basic and translational developmental biology.
Lewis Wolpert was Emeritus Professor of Biology as Applied to Medicine at University College London. He was an eminent developmental biologist whose ideas have had a profound and lasting impact on the way we think about development. He believed that, even though the development of different organisms seems to be overwhelmingly complex, there are general principles. His philosophy forms the basis of Principles of Development which was first published in 1998. Lewis also authored several books aimed at the general public including The Triumph of the Embryo and an influential book on depression Malignant Sadness based partly on his own experiences.
