‘Embryology: Constructing the Organism’ concentrates on the descriptive and experimental aspects of embryology. Written by experts in each area, it brings invertebrate, vertebrate and plant embryology into a single easy-to-read and well illustrated volume. It differs from standard developmental biology texts in that it focuses on those organisms whose development is now well understood, integrating new information with the classic studies. This book is ideal for laboratory-based courses in embryology.
