Developmental biology attracts scientists from many different areas of
biology, and the amphibian Xenopus holds a special place among the
organisms studied as a model of vertebrate development. Until now, no
recently published atlas existed to aid researchers and students coming
to the Xenopus embryo for the first time.
The present book satisfies this need. With its synthesizing approach and
its generous provision of beautiful scanning, transmission, and light
microscopy images, this unique volume will be a standard reference not
only for developmental biologists but for all students of embryology,
histology, and comparative anatomy.
