About this title

Synopsis:

In addition to exploring the organismal, cellular and molecular aspects of animal development, the 6th edition of "Developmental Biology" expands its coverage of both the environmental regulation of developmental and evolutionary biology. New features include full-colour illustrations, references, indexes (subject, author and website) and chapter summaries. An associated website [http://zygote.swarthmore.edu/index.html] is cross-referenced throughout the text, providing more information for advanced students, historical, philosophical and ethical perspectives on issues in developmental biology, movies, interviews, web links and updates. There is an accompanying CD-ROM which takes the student through the developmental cycles of a number of the model organisms used in developmental biology and illustrates techniques used in studying these organisms. Features include over 130 interative videos and 300 labelled photographs, study questions, web links and numerous "how to" sections giving instructions on experimental techniques.

Review:

'This is undoubtedly the best developmental biology text for final year undergraduates and graduate students.' -- The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists on the fifth edition

'This latest edition of Developmental Biology by Gilbert is anything but a routine 'yet another' edition: it is fresh.' -- Kristian Prydz, Journal of Cell Science

Gilbert has a remarkable capacity to synthesize new developments (including this year's findings) into new concepts, rather then simply summarizing primary research publications...' -- Kristian Prydz, Journal of Cell Science
