Principles of Development

This book provides a detailed description of all essential aspects of developmental biology, in addition to some information about evolution in relation to developmental biology. * Dr Hegias Mira Bontenbal and Dr Willy M Baarends, University Medical Centre Rotterdam * Well written, excellent diagrams, nice online resources (especially the signalling pathway animations). * Dr Thomas Butts, University of Liverpool * A really good introduction to developmental biology, covering all the core topics students need to know. The writing and figures are very clear, and there are very useful online resources for both the student and the lecturer. * Dr Joanna Richardson, University of Sussex * The organisation and clarity of the writing and figures together really help to convey the principles of Developmental Biology to the enquiring student. This is supplemented by the provision of questions and some online material to cement and broaden understanding. * Dr Michael Taylor, Cardiff University * An extremely well written book that explains the major developmental concepts and processes in a clear and concise manner, approachable to students. I find the provision of in silico practical activities and on-line journal club supported by lecturer notes extremely helpful for my teaching. Together with on-line MCQs, I use these to test the students' knowledge and help them develop deep understanding and enthusiasm for the subject. * Dr Aida Rajic, University of Suffolk *
