With an emphasis throughout on the evidence underpinning the main conclusions, this book is an essential text for both introductory and more advanced courses in developmental biology.

Consequently, the concepts and principles of developmental biology is changing fast. This book comprises chapters that deal with key steps in the transformation of the single-celled zygote into the complex, multicellular, adult animal.

This is an outstanding concise introduction to developmental biology that takes a contemporary approach to describing the complex process that transforms an egg into an adult organism.

The fifth edition adds the ecological dimension to its integration of molecular, cellular, and organismal approaches, with a new chapter concerning the ways by which the environment effects the phenotype of the organism.

The Dictionary of Developmental Biology and Embryology, Second Edition is the first comprehensive reference focused on the field's terms, research, history, and people.

This Very Short Introduction, written by the distinguished developmental biologist Lewis Wolpert, gives a concise account of, and explores, one of the liveliest areas of scientific research.

The volumes are edited by Paul M. Wassarman, series editor of CTDB, and include contributions from dozens of outstanding developmental biologists from around the world.
