Informationen zum Autor Scott F. Gilbert Klappentext This new edition keeps the excellent writing, accuracy, and enthusiasm of the Gilbert Developmental Biology textbook, streamlines it, adds electronic supplements to reinforce ideas and creates a new textbook that will meet the desires of those teaching Developmental Biology to a new generation. As revolutionary as Gilbert's Developmental Biology was in 1985, so will the Gilbert and Barresi be in 2016.
