From Egg to Embryo : Regional Specification in Early Development (Developmental and Cell Biology Series)

Rating:
Summary: Embryology for those not just interested in humans,
Review: I first read this book as a graduate student in a developmental biology program. It is well-written, engaging and deep. It is not geared towards medical students but towards those interested in what processes are used by a broad spectrum of animals to develop from a one-celled egg to complicated life-forms. Now that I am no longer in the field I find myself wanting to read it again and wishing there was an up-dated version, given all the advances in our understanding of the cellular and genetic processes that underly development of the last decade.
