DESCRIPTION: A classic gets a new coauthor and a new approach: "Developmental Biology", 11th Edition, keeps the excellent writing, accuracy, and enthusiasm of the Gilbert "Developmental Biology" book, streamlines it, adds innovative electronic supplements, and creates a new textbook for those teaching Developmental Biology to a new generation.

Several new modes of teaching are employed in the new Gilbert and Barresi textbook. The videos explaining development -- as well as those from Mary Tyler's Vade Mecum -- are referenced throughout the book, and several other valuable new elements have been added.
