Essential Developmental Biology is a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction to all aspects of developmental biology. Written in a clear and accessible style, the fourth edition of this popular textbook has been expanded and updated to include:

• More full color photographs of developmental biology specimens.
• New chapters on “Cells into Tissues” and on “Human Development”.
• A unique treatment of tissue renewal, stem cells, growth, aging, and regeneration.
