This textbook has been written by one of the most influential development biologists of the 20th century, Lewis Wolpert. Developmental biology is at the core of all biology and deals with the processes by which the genes in the fertilized egg control cell behaviour in the embryo and so determine its pattern, its form, and much of its behaviour. This book emphasizes the principles and key developments in order to provide an approach and style that will appeal to students at all levels.
Lewis Wolpert was a South African-born British developmental biologist, author, and broadcaster. Wolpert popularized his French flag model of embryonic development, using the colours of the French flag as a visual aid to explain how embryonic cells interpret genetic code for expressing characteristics of living organisms and explaining how signalling between cells early in morphogenesis could inform cells with the same genetic regulatory network of their position and role.
