5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding in-depth intro to developmental biology, December 22, 2002
This review is from: Developmental Biology (Hardcover)
I think Scott Gilbert has done an absolutely stupendous job in writing this clearly written, beautifully illustrated and up-to-date exposition of developmental biology. The concluding chapter on evolutionary developmental biology is brief but very well done. The websites associated with the book and the CD provide much additional information. Definitely the premier textbook in this area. Don't tackle it without having taken at least a course in cell biology, and some exposure to biochemistry and genetics would be helpful as well. The last time I read a dev bio textbook was when I was in college 30 years ago; how things have changed!

This review is from: Developmental Biology (Hardcover)
My favorite developmental biology text of all time. Now in its' 6th edition it includes an interactive CD with videos and photos. It also has referenced many valuable websites. A truely great book with a fine sensibity to the historical perspectives of science and the complexity and beauty of natural forms. Gilbert publishes regularly in the field of develomental biology and his expertise is obvious.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but single author can't handle all, September 25, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Developmental Biology (Hardcover)
This is a superb textbook which includes a wide scope of current developmental biology. The new version also embraces a modern interactive technology. It's really cool! The text is fluent and consistent because a single author wrote all the chapters. However, its drawback is that the author can't know all the things. This is contrast to other reputated textbooks such as Molecular Biology of the Cell, Principles of Neural Science, etc., written by multiple authors who have expertises in each chapter. Developmental biology has expanded and now covers evolution, plants, and even behavior. I think Dr. Scott Gilbert is a genius. But I can't believe he can handle all of these stuffs. It's time to ask some people to write each chapter.
