1.0 out of 5 stars
Poor coverage of titled subject,

This review is from: Developmental Biology (Hardcover)
This book covers very little of the subject for which it is titled. If one were looking for a pure molecular biology textbook with some developmental correlations, then this is the text for you. It covers none of classical embryology and development. It is geared more towards laboratory technical work than to understanding fundamental principles. I had to give it only one star because of the misleading title. In reading this book, you will not learn the steps and stages of embryology and development. This text expects you to already know them like the back of your hand. You will not learn any developmental anatomy. You will learn a lot of seemingly arbitrary chemical signaling. Also, this text contains no glossary. I don't know what the author was thinking with that.

This review is from: Developmental Biology (Hardcover)
This book offers a nice historical look at biology, but very little (if anything) about embryology is covered. The same can be said for the important development of anatomy. Sometimes it's best to read other reviews to find out if purchasing a book is the right decision or not. In this case, listen to the negative reviews. They're correct.
