Biografisk notat
Lewis Wolpert is Emeritus Professor of Biology as Applied to Medicine, in the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology, University College London, London, UK. He is the author of The Triumph of the Embryo, A Passion for Science, The Unnatural Nature of Science, and Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast Cheryll Tickle is Emeritus Professor in the Department of Biology and Biochemistry, University of Bath, Bath, UK Alfonso Martinez Arias is Professor of Developmental Mechanics at the University of Cambridge, UKAn 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.

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
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
Well written, excellent diagrams, nice online resources (especially the signalling pathway animations).
Dr Thomas Butts, University of Liverpool
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.
