Developmental Biology by Gilbert, Scott F.|Barresi, Michael J. F. (Hardcover)

Description: About this productProduct InformationKeeps the excellent writing, accuracy, and enthusiasm of Gilbert's classic book, streamlines it, adds innovative electronic supplements, and creates a new textbook for those teaching Developmental Biology to a new generation.Developmental Biology, Eleventh Edition makes it easier to customise one's developmental biology course to the needs and interests of today's students, integrating the printed book with electronic interviews, videos, and tutorials.New to This Edition An increased emphasis on stem cells, covered extensively and early in the book.Sex determination and gametogenesis, instead of being near the end of the volume, are up front, prior to fertilisation.The treatment of neural development is greatly expanded, comprising a unit unto itself.Coverage of new experiments on morphogenesis and differentiation, as well as new techniques such as CRISPR.Product IdentifiersPublisherOxford University PressISBN-101605354708ISBN-139781605354705eBay Product ID (ePID)221578839Product Key FeaturesFormatHardcoverPublication Year2016LanguageEnglishDimensionsWeight75.5 OzWidth11.1in.Height1.3in.Length8.8in.Additional Product FeaturesDewey Edition22Table of ContentFrom the Authors PART I.

GilbertEdition Number11Number of Pages810 PagesLc Classification NumberQl955.G48 2016Reviews"The latest edition of Developmental Biology is a significantly revised version of a modern classis. This textbook provides a diversity of views on how a single cell can give rise to a multicellular organism, enhancing learning with clear prose, colorful images, didactic diagrams, and links to multimedia resources. . . . for students or professors who need a well-rounded, clearly written overview of developmental biology principles this is the mostcomprehensive textbook currently available." --Kara Cerveny, The Quarterly Review of Biology"Developmental Biology, Eleventh Edition successfully teaches the basis of development in a manner that is digestible and intriguing. It is useful for students who enjoy traditional as well as modern approaches to pedagogy. By systematically reviewing concepts in development, integrating web resources, and providing expansive applications about the subject matter, the textbook is valuable for readers interested in the field." --Jessica S.
