Résumé

This is a revised and updated new edition of the best-selling and popular textbook on developmental biology written by one of the most influential developmental biologists of this century, Lewis Wolpert. Developmental biology is at the core of all biology. It deals with the processes by which the genes in the fertilized egg control cell behaviour in the embryo and so determine its pattern, form, and much of its behaviour. This book emphasizes the principles and key developments in order to provide an approach and style that will appeal to undergraduate students of all levels.
