內容簡介

　　A classic gets a new coauthor and a new approach: Developmental Biology, Eleventh 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.

　　Additional updates include:

　　* An increased emphasis on stem cells, which are covered extensively and early in the book.

　　* Sex determination and gametogenesis, instead of being near the end of the volume, are up front, prior to fertilization.

　　* Greatly expanded coverage of neural development, comprising a unit unto itself.

　　* Coverage of new experiments on morphogenesis and differentiation, as well as new techniques such as CRISPR.

作者簡介

Scott F. Gilbert

　　Scott F. Gilbert is Howard A. Schneiderman Professor Emeritus at Swarthmore College and a Finland Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Helsinki Institute of Biotechnology. He teaches developmental biology, developmental genetics, and the history of biology. After receiving his B.A. from Wesleyan University, he pursued his graduate and postdoctoral research at The Johns Hopkins University and the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Gilbert is the recipient of several awards, including the first Viktor Hamburger Award for excellence in developmental biology education, the Alexander Kowalevsky Prize for evolutionary developmental biology, honorary degrees from the Universities of Helsinki and Tartu, and the Medal of François I from the Collège de France. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a corresponding member of the St. Petersburg Society of Naturalists, and on the International Advisory Board for the National Institute of Basic Biology in Japan. He has been chair of the Professional Development and Education Committee of the Society for Developmental Biology. His research pursues the developmental genetic mechanisms by which the turtle forms its shell and the mechanisms by which plasticity and symbionts contribute to development.

Michael J. F. Barresi　　

　　Michael J. F. Barresi is a Professor at Smith College in the department of Biological Sciences and Program in Neuroscience. Dr. Barresi was a Biology major and Studio Art minor at Merrimack College. After he received his B.A., Dr. Barresi pursued his doctoral research on muscle fiber type development at Wesleyan University in the laboratory of Dr. Stephen Devoto. He completed his postdoctoral fellowship in Dr. Rolf Karlstrom's laboratory at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, investigating the development of commissure formation in the zebrafish forebrain. At Smith College, Dr. Barresi's laboratory investigates the molecular and cellular mechanisms governing the development of neural stem cells, commissure formation, and neurodevelopmental responses to environmental teratogens. He has been a member of the Professional Development and Education Committee of the Society for Developmental Biology. Dr. Barresi is an innovator in the classroom, pioneering the use of web conferencing, documentary movie making, and active learning pedagogies in Developmental Biology. Since 2005, he has successfully taught course-based research laboratories in Developmental Biology. In connection with his NSF CAREER award, Dr. Barresi created the "Student Scientists" outreach program to help train and inspire primary and secondary education teachers to infuse investigative curriculum in their classrooms. He was the recipient of the 2012 Sherrerd Prize for Distinguished Teaching at Smith College.

序

　　Scott Gilbert's Developmental Biology has metamorphosed into the Gilbert and Barresi Developmental Biology. Even the axes have changed. The book has a new phenotype, which should make it easier to customize one's developmental biology course to the needs and interests of today's students. Michael Barresi brings his creativity and expertise as a teacher and as an artist of computer-mediated learning to the book, integrating the print with electronic interviews, videos, and tutorials. He also brings to the book new ideas in education, such that there are shorter chapters, more websites, and alternative ways of teaching animal development. There is also more emphasis on stem cells, which are brought to the front of the book; sex determination and gametogenesis, instead of being near the end of the volume, are now up front, as well. There are several new modes of teaching that the new Gilbert and Barresi textbook now makes accessible. The videos explaining development-as well as Mary Tyler's laboratory manual and Vade Mecum-are fully integrated into the book, and several other valuable new elements have been added: - Opening Question and Photo: Inviting the student into the text and engaging curiosity, each chapter begins with a photograph and short question that will be revisited throughout the chapter and in a summary paragraph at the end. - The Punchline: More than a chapter outline, this opening paragraph provides the student with a quick overview of the big principles that will be exemplified in the chapter. - Dev Tutorials: A teacher you can take with you, each chapter will be accompanied by a professionally produced video tutorial by the authors that reinforce the key concepts. Each video is also supplemented with an in-class case study activity. - Watch Developments: Putting concepts into action, these informative videos show real-life developmental biology processes. - Developing Questions: Building on topics explained in the text.
