Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This thoroughly revised 4th edition offers both clear descriptions and explanations of human embryonic development based on all the most up-to-date scientific discoveries and understanding. Particular attention is paid to the fundamental aspects of molecular mechanisms in development, introducing you to major families of important developmental molecules. Clinical aspects of development are covered throughout in boxed sections of text. First-rate illustrations and Student Consult access, including online animations, complete this essential package.

Book News Annotation:

Carlson (emeritus cell and developmental biology, U. of Michigan-Ann Arbor) had hoped that after the first flush of molecular biology, the flow of new information on mammalian development would crest and slow. He had also hoped that the time allotted to embryology in American medical schools would stop decreasing. Thwarted in both cases, he has chosen to increase the information in his textbook rather than keep it trimmed to fit a receding curriculum. In such areas as gene regulation, interactions, signals, receptors, and signal transduction, he has presented first-level molecular interactions without delving into entire pathways. Among other new or expanded material are the axiation and fixation of asymmetry in early development, the role of retinoids, and the neural crest. Color illustrations appear throughout. Earlier editions were published between 1994 and 2004. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
