A new edition of "Principles of Development", the authoritative undergraduate textbook on developmental biology. Written by a team of distinguished authors, led by Lewis Wolpert, one of the most influential developmental biologists of our time, the text focuses on principles and key concepts to guide students through this fascinating but often challenging subject.
