発生生物学の第一人者による、最新の知見を盛り込んだ、カラフルで分かりやすく解説。５年振りの改訂版。
Updated throughout, including several new sections linked to the relationships between development and evolution. The main focus is on vertebrates and Drosophila, but also covers other systems where they best illustrate a topic.

Full Description

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.
