 An Excellent Textbook January 25, 2000
15 out of 20 found this review helpful
Wolpert's developmental biology textbook is evidently an excellent text in its field. The authors are all well recognized in thier research areas. The organization of the text is also very well written. The summary of the concept presented at the end of each chapter is helpful. The figures presented througout the text are clear and the language used to explain them is simple but very understandable. Compared with the well-known Gilbert's text, this text may be less in dept but you can get the concept from this book for only half of the time reading Gilbert's. It is a nice book to have both for the new beginner in the field and for just a quick reference.

As far as basic developmental biology books go, this one's one of the better that I've seen. Highly recommended to anyone in the fields of biology or biochemistry with an interest in how life first begins to develop.

The book was said to be in good condition - it was actually fabulous. The cover in great condition and binding good - and no highlighting or writings in the margins - magnificent!

i used this book for some lectures i taught second year undergrads in a biology dept at a big uni ... it is a tad expensive (like all text books) and i would probably try to pick it up used to be honest.. (the development text books don't change that much year to year ..) and in the usa the undergrads are not expected to be using primary research papers by the second year... all in all a good book of its type.
